Hi Shaun, Well, the money is precisely the reason we can't get big mainstream companies on our side. If a game developer says he made $10,000 last year on game x the mainstream companies will laugh in our faces. Sony, Capcom, Nintendo, Activision, EA Games, and others are use to making millions off a single title. Something like $10,000 is laughable. That would not even cover the salary of their lead developer who would be asked to rewrite portions of the game to make it accessible. Of course, I suspect mainstream developers would have much more success than anyone here, but the whole idea is they do not see much money in it compared to what they are already making.
However, as for the idea that the audio games will die off I don't really see that happening per say. Sure some games will have problems, there may be a few compatibility issues, but as game developers and users upgrade they will have to address those compatibility issues eventually. I don't think it is so much a question of if but when all this will happen. Cheers!
