darrin, to be honest devs can just use sapi.
Compaired to other things windows is probably easy to develop because
you don't have restrictions on what you do, I guess the smart phone
will take over but I have not seen that many blind devs actually make
games for the smart phone market and those that are out really
although good for smart phones are probably crap compaired to their
windows varients.
I am still a firm believer at least for the short term maybe longer
that we will have windows.
The big jump is when vb6 dies then we may see more of the games drop
off and who knows.
However its not all over till the fat lady sings and even if the
core devs all died we would still have some of an indie industry
active so its not an issue really.

I think though sooner or later a lot more games will be developed for apple
devices over windows because voiceover is built in. which is going to make
it easier for finding the relevant information in order to make it work.
With windows the developer not only has to make it work with the os but also
with third party screen readers and it's the fact that there are multiple
screen readers which is the problem.

Subject: Re: [Audyssey] New games for windows not being produced any more?
The only game I know of under development for Windows is Three
Monkeys. It's going to be an audio action roleplaying games using
binaural sound. That should be pretty awesome. News of accessible Game
development has always been very slow in coming for numerous reasons.
The only area where I think this has really changed is with games for
the iOS devices like iPAD or iPHONE. Some developers have gotten a lot
more hesitant to post news about games they're working on since people
are inevidably disappointed when things are delayed.
