Default why new software cant run in old hardware

lets take this game would it be posible to run it in rasperry pi at cpu700mhz with 256 ram?

i say if the devs want it would be posible

make it 16 colours instead of 32 million, hey i paint with less

make the posibility to make all ground just blue and green and brwon of buildings

take all shades away

well you know...

so if its posible to have a toned down game as to run it in low end pc why they dont give us that option and force us to buy new hardware?

No. Wrong processor. Wrong operating system. Insufficient memory. Insufficient speed. Insufficient graphics capability. The RPi isn't intended to be a replacement for the average desktop PC, never mind a high-end gaming machine. That isn't what it is for.

i can see that the flying model is something that rpi wont be able to handle however much you tone down the graphics i guess

but i still see a problem here

why we are not given the option to run the game in 256 colours or take buildings off completely

i bet the average spending for people on this game is:

30 euro in software 100 euro in hardware

personally i understand that for the realistic games to be played hardware and software will need to be upgraded its all part of the process reason i have brought myself a new computer so i can play cod if you want the standard games go play xbox or ps3 whats the point in toning the games and graphics down when we all want them improved it defeats the point of the new games coming out.

You also have to take into account the architecture used will be based on modern hardware, the programming will be written to take advantage of multiple cores and such. Windows itself has minimum requirements- no point in making Cliffs of Dover DOS compatible for example.
