I would say a couple more points though 1) everything you say has been covered many times before. While I'm not suggesting that the fact that the previous attempts didnt change anything should put you off trying to change things now - you should be prepared for the same outcome. 2) I've generally maintained that the restrictions we have do not affect our development of games (maybe apart from the multitap :) ). i think people should try to finish a game before complaining about restrictions - there are far more pertinent restrictions on the games we create and none of them are Sony related - the fact that we work in our spare time, that we dont all know programming too well, that we arent good as artists/ musicians and we are amateurs. Seriously, I recommend people to work through a complete project before criticising what we have/ dont have in the libraries. As an example - people ask why we are stuck with the tmd format and gslibs - why not give us the full libraries. Funnily enough a lot of those people cant even use the gslibs because they dont understand maths/ 3d matrix calculations so they definately wouldnt be able to use the lower level functions. you do have a passion about the yaroze - so get developing :) Rob Disclaimer: Anything I say has no direct relation to where I work (Sony), is not an official voice of where I work (Sony) and Sony doesn't even exist as far as I'm concerned.
