Where I work, we tend to have many short-term installations in trade shows. No network access, and you can't turn it off to fix it in the middle of the show. After delivery, you're not changing any software. You're not even going to get to change any configuration. It had better work, or somebody's going to be getting their money back.
Seems like platform game programming must be somewhat similar, so I don't think I have a completely niche perspective.
On the other hand, if something does break in the middle of a show, we usually blame it on the hardware. So maybe I'm agreeing with you after all!

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
