well thats true except that all of the games we have well for the
last decade are vb6 types and well once they die the gaming industry
gets smaller than it is already.
ofcause it may mean that the comercial audio game may be on the way
out at least for a time.
The true end of most of this stuff will happen when everyone
worldwide stop using 32 bit code all together.
then and only then we will be in quite a lot of trouble.

The question is what happens once circumstances force those XP users
to upgrade, which they inevitably will in time. Computers die sooner
or later, and your new computer might not be equipped to handle
having an older OS installed. We might lose certain older games but
we'llhave access to newer ones.

Exactly my point when it comes to switching from XP. Developers aren't
going to develop for a platform that their customers don't use. The
majority of blind gamers still use XP because they like it, it works, and
there are products that we have already bought that work on it. Those
products may not work with the new Windows platform which is not as blind
friendly to operate.

Hi Josh,
I think you are missing the point. A lot of the people don't want
Windows 8 so why would they go to New Egg or Blair Technologies and
get a laptop and put Windows 8 on it?
As for Android Tablets I have tried one out, I like it, but the fact
of the matter is Android acccessibility is still very basic, not up to
iOS standards, there aren't many games for it, and developers aren't
going to write games for a platform with few potential customers. Not
if he or she is trying to make money at it.
Cheers!

people could get refurbished computers from blair technology or newegg

just make the games for tablets. I'd rather play touch screen games on
tablets anyway than have them on a full laptop which is part touch
screen pretending to try to be a tablet.
