Hi Devin, Interesting enough you have hit upon one issue that should convince people to upgrade if nothing else. The Sapi voices for XP such as Microsoft Sam, Mary, and Mike were absolutely terrible. The newer Sapi 5.5 voices that come with Windows 8 are much better , and are certainly decent for

Hi Shaun: Well, I can't share any actual figures, but what I can say is I have been told by other accessible game developers that none of them actually made much money off the games they wrote. I have heard roomers that some games only averaged around $10,000 USD, and that was for a game that was

Hi Shaun, Although I basically agree with your sentiments next time you should try and word your opinions using less profanity and not be so harsh. The way you worded your message below could be very offensive to some developers and I'd prefer we not do that while expressing a point of view.
