security I can go take out a personal loan for $5000, pay them back
$4600 of the $5000 buy a new computer then just slowly pay off the rest
of the loan.

Hi Charles,
If we were talking about financially speaking I would be in a much
worse situation, but I think we know by now developing audio games is
not and never has been about the money for me. I primarily write games
for myself first and for the community second. So from that
perspective writing games for a more modern operating system has its
advantages for me personally because everything I write will be
compatible with what I am using and is made according to the
specifications I want or need at the time. It makes little sense to
write something for an operating system that I will never use or
support myself unless I am solely interested in the money which I am
not.
Besides I think your logic is a bit flawed. You said that a lot of
gamers can not take advantage of more modern tools and operating
systems. I believe it is more a case of won't than can't. I have seen
my fair share of inexpensive computers under $300 with Windows 7 on
them, and I know that many people on SSI should be able to save up and
afford that if they wanted to. Many don't want to so won't upgrade
rather than can't upgrade/. At least that is just my opinion.
Cheers!
