Don't feel bad. I've bought something like 4 games for the blind, my
entire life, (and I'm mid 50s), because they're always out of my price
range. I don't let it bother me though, I've got plenty of things to do
that don't require playing games. And, besides, it's likely those games
will get outdated with a windows update, and you won't be able to play
them anymore anyway, so (in all cases for me), it's proved a
disappointment anyhow, so I just ignore games that require registration
now. I either play free ones, or I go find something else to do. (or
when I find an accessible commercial game) I put my money into that,
because they aren't likely to abandon the game so quickly. Commercial
games actually get updated for the most part, so that loosing your money
thing doesn't really occur. Eventually, yes, but not nearly as quickly.
Call me synnical, but of the many many commercial games I've bought,
only 1 or two have gone beyond the capability to play them anymore,
while *all* games for the blind have done so. Admittedly, the numbers
don't really match, but percentage wise, it's not helpful, 100 percent
vs. something like 5 percent. (go figure).
I know, I'm an odd character, no need to point that out. I just find I
get more mileage from commercial titles that happen to be accessible
than I ever did from games built specifically for the blind.
Hi all
I have limited funds to spend and I’m noticing games are, more often
than not, out of my price range. Does anyone else have this problem
and how do you get around it? I mean in particular PC rpg games.
Please post your comments.
