Ok, while I don't think the statement was polite enough, he had a valid point. I've also been a student until last year. And even then, I got myself a decent GC. How? I became a Programming Basics teacher during the summer vacations, so I got the money to buy myself a x1950 512MB. Of course, I've been a workless student for a while, so I had to rely on presents to get new PCs. If there was an uber-game I loved, I'd just wait to get my chance, but I knew there was no way I'd ever be able to play without the upgrade, so I accepted the fact that devs were never going to make the effort (useless effort anyways) so that I could play with my elder PC configuration while everyone else had already surpassed the standard, and I became patient about it. Last year I finished my Technician course, and I was hired by an IT multinational, so I didn't need that much patience. That's how last Xmas I was able to finally play GTA4. Patience and selfsacrifice, that's what you need and not just bothering devs with obsolete requirements while most people have a decent rig already.

And since I know what I'm talking about:

I dare tell you to skip gaming time and work harder. I worked hard for 2 years, I didn't even got out much (if ever) during those years. The result, some useful money, and good marks. Gaming is a bad distraction, I tell you from experience.

Cheers

The game should be made to run on todays machines IMO, however, most games also have graphics settings you can change to run on older machines, this means the game will still be quite awesome in years to come, with upgrading you can up the settings!
