Com esta limitada memória o Zeebo é capaz de músicas com vocal e/ou Full Motion Vídeo?5) Existem planos para outros jogos seus no Zeebo?6) O acelerômetro virá de brinda na caixa do Zeebo ou será vendido separadamente?

Something between Wow/Sims/Secondlife with the graphics you find on xbox 360 would be perfect. Being able to explore worlds and interact without having to kill would be great... why hasnt anyone designed something like this !!

Yes, we can make it "reborn", we just have to realize that the old models that are dying even in US are so dead and buried here for 15 years. In fact, the massive piracy/second hand sales in US today will transform the market beyond recognition, and as a consequence make it way more viable here too! About the costs I agree with you, the problem is culture not poverty. However, I should also make a post like "How Steam is slowly changing the Brazilian gamers.". Because it is.

I'm a rare Brazillian anti-pirate, just like you! I was amazed on how you did describe the brazillian situation so well in your another post http://texpine.com/2008/02/15/how-piracy-can-break-an-industry-the-brazilian-case/ It's the very same thing that I say to everyone, but your text is much more complete and detailed. Unfortunately, I'm the only one in my city who(at least that O know) buys games and software. Before reading this text, I was just sad to know that our whole gaming market was destroyed years ago, and would never come back. But, thinking beter, what if it does(I mean, like it was year ago)? Now, I'm a believer, too! Cya! ps.: in your last post, you said that a game costs US$98,00 in Brazil, but I think it's just a excuxe from the pirates, because anyone can easilly, and legally buy a game at US$ 25,55-50,00. I think it doesn't matter if the game costs R$100 or R$1, one of the main problems here are culture matters: people just... like to buy or download pirated content. Hello!

Anyway I was really hoping I could find one but now that I think about it I think total non combat games would be like playing a total combat game for us as it would be for those who enjoy the combat aspect, if that makes sense. I played runescape for a really long time, I never really got very good but I really enjoyed it. My two favorite parts of the game were going into the wilderness to attack other players and merchanting stock to make money. So really what I am looking for is a mix of both. I am actually in year 11 this year and have started planning a game that uses ideas from other games to create an economically centered game that has many options to use combat but is not required. Unfortunately I don't really have the commitment to make it hehe but am hoping I can really start getting some practice in game making with some of the basic free tools out there. Well I have just been rambling on but I am hoping someone has found a cool game since December 6, 2009 at 3:15 when the last person posted and can give it too me.
