What was your contribution? All you did was a fill in the blanks rant, cept you targeted Epic and UT 2007, instead of Valve and Steam/Half-Life 2 > do the same with steam > admit steam is a system that makes pc games more expensive I think on average in the UK, game prices as a whole have dropped. > admit steam is a system targeting high income pc gamers So does all advertising and systems for purchasing. Its how "they" make money. > admit steam neglect low income pc gamers I don't see how. Despite what you have assumed, I'm not exactly rolling in it, I just save up for the hardware etc that I require, rather than use credit cards. > admit you agree with valve making pc games more expensive As I said before, the UK seems to have a trend for the cost coming down > admit you agree pc games becoming an elitist expensive hobby Hasn't it always? > admit you agree low income pc gamers should be left out left out of what? Soccer practice? > ADMITE YOU WILL PAY WHATEVER VALVE ASKS FOR ITS STEAM GAMES! I'll freely admit I will pay Valve for any game I deem worthy of purchase, otherwise how else would I own the game, save through piracy. I don't buy games according to your rules (which you don't follow) of buying every game as soon as its released at full price. Surely your own rules leave people on low incomes at a disadvantage when it comes to being a "true" PC gamer? PS I don't think its been mentioned by anyone anywhere that the Unreal 3 engine requires Dual core CPUs. It may require a pixie shader 3 card for full visual enjoyment, but its not as if they are the first to NOT support non pixel shader cards, or cards like the Geforce 4 Ti series. Also my graphic card and CPU are not 2005 technology. I have an original AMD 64 Clawhammer 3200+ s754, and my 6800GT is over a year old now, as always your rants a lacking on facts.
