Hi, And sound...can you imagine playing the equivalent of Mortal Combat with recorded sounds? Otherwise, you'd spend thousands upon thousands of dollars.

Problem is there are a great number of people who wouldn't be willing to wait ten years for these games. I'm not saying we're not behind, because we are, but it's probably never going to happen. As has been pointed out endlessly, most developers are just single people, and even if you could find other programmers who used the same languages and whatnot, you'd also have to agree on creative matters as well, not to mention licensing. That's partly why Castle Quest was scrapped. It's not an excuse, it's cold hard fact.
