I hate to say it but that'll probably never happen. We have to look at how
cost effective it would be for these companies to make their games
accessible. Given that we're a distinct minority chances are they're going
to say it's not cost effective. That's always going to be the number 1
priority for them, above everything else. And I'm sure people have called,
written to and otherwise communicated with these big name companies. I'll
admit that Nintendo seems at least willing to listen to the idea but that's
about as far as it's ever gone. As for the other developers that people have
contacted, most were apparently quite rude about the whole thing.

Hi,
Has anyone ever thought of calling companies like Sony and writing letters
to them and petitioning for the major video game companies to modify
their current games so they are accessible? put a visually impaired/blind
players mode in the games and a button to access it? And with today's
console arcitecture why not add text to speech built right into the
console? same with pc games, add an accessibility option or a downloadable
accessibility pack for the games. and since we got firefox and webvisum
brushthose captchas aside, subscribe to the sighted gamers forums and lets
make our voices heard and keep making them heard until we get what we
want, the quality of games played by our sighted friends.
Josh
