Seriously, Ive stayed out of most of the VG threads as there are more then enough people to point out how utterly wrong your attitude is to the MMOG playerbase and the industry in general, but holy hell do you need to seriously wake up to reality.

As much as I like to see competition in any industry, you and the people like you that share similar gaming mindsets need to be put out of business.

I have to respectfully disagree. It used to be that to buy a top of the line computer you were looking at 3-4k. It's dropped considerably, and I'm only talking about a top of the line computer if you want to run at high resolutions and at high graphical settings. Many, many Vanguard players run the game and have a blast with much lower end machines. They may get a slower framerate, or the graphics may not be as compelling, but it's still the same game, and the same gameplay.

But yes, every few years people do upgrade their PCs, especially gamers, because they want to play the latest games that use the latest tech. No, the average person doesn't upgrade or buy a new system as frequently, but then Vanguard is a more of a gamer's game and also a game designed to last a long time -- we're in this for the long haul. And as more and more compelling games come out that use or take advantage of higher tech, there will be more and more of a reason for gamers to justify upgrading. Lots of people upgraded for EQ 1, for Doom 3, etc. The precedent is there.
