Yeah you're totally right on that. But I think there will be still a big market for retro games be it 2D/Isometric/Sidecrollers and 3D games with retro graphics for the coming decades. 3D is cool but got hobbyist without team and funds its almost impossible to breakdown to actually getting some games sold.

There there is the next problem. I personally only run Apple products at home for rendering and video/audio. Sure I have Windows running, but GameStudio isn't ready for new platforms.

I don't run Window 8 or higher. regardless of the good news about Win10. But friends trying demos working fine on XP/Pro/W2K/don't produce results on higher platforms n Windows without causing problems or even reboots.

So for now GameStudio/A8Comm/A8Ptp don't seem compatible with the new Windows release and the battle about who dunnit can start blaming.
