Hi Marty. Really sad to hear.
I have sent apple a polite but indignant email on the subject you mention, so hopefully we can get them to move said rock. This decision seems more to me to be motivated by the needs of sighted people who need ever flashy menus and different things to look at, than the needs of Vi gamers. Hopefully Apple can be persuaded to change their mind, since this sounds to me like a decision with not much related to access behind it and everything related to how things @loook@ I really hope you can keep developing. All the best, Dark.

From >a business perspective, that would mean spending hundreds of hours recoding >the games, with no possible return-on-investment.

If you are unhappy with this decision, you can express your opinion to Apple. The accessibility desk is at [email protected] or you can call 1-800-MY-APPLE. Thanks to everyone for enjoying my games.
