Re: The Road of Life
@Jason as someone who didn't! use a usually supported screen reader, I can say the "just try another screen reader" isn't quite as simple as it appears, since any screen reader requires learning.
What if someone were newly blind and got a computer preloaded with say Supernova or Thunder Cobra or a less used screen reader and was struggling how to use that one? You wouldn't want them disbarred from games playing on that basis.
That is why I would myself prefer if games always supported Sapi in addition to Nvda, jaws etc, despite the fact that I use Nvda as my main screen reader of choice anyway. Everyone can use Sapi, it's inbuilt into Windows. A sighted person who downloads an audio game to try out has access to Sapi, and playing audiogames with Sapii sin't too bad, I did it myself for years since Supernova was rarely if ever supported.
That being said, it's not an issue to get ones knickers in a twist over, some just program things differently.
Apart from WinBoard, and Jfw Hangman, I can't think of any game off the top of my head that just! supports one screen reader, most either work through Sapi, or support multiple (programs in addition to Sapiusually Nvda, Window eyes and Jaws, often system access as well, and rarely Supernova).
