Wow, that's a really nice way to show your respect for the developer's of this game system.
And it might interest you to know that this is a relatively new system. In my discussion with Lee he said that and that they are still feeling their way through what works and what doesn't. Show them some respect and give them the time to figure things out. It's people like you who drive developers away from developing games for the blind and visually impaired. If you don't have anything nice to say about them try saying nothing at all! Those of us who appreciate them and what they are doing for us will be thankful for it.
