Hi Richard and Brandon, Richard, I agree with you that Brandon should submit his game play to EA and other game companies. I unfortunately don't share your view that the companies would make an effort to make some of their future games accessible. I think the most we can hope for is them modifying a certain game or making a game accessible, if, for no other reason, to get some good publicity, that's if they even would bother. These companies are already earning millions from producing games for the mainstream game community. I really do think that we are such a small community that I can't see how, apart from publicity, it would profit them to even think of making a game like this, unless of course they can somehow drop the blind thing and somehow market it to the mainstream players as cool, which I don't think they'd even bother trying. Another thing I heard yesterday, which I think we should be quite concerned about, is the fact that online games are using Flash and Multimedia more, now that connections are getting faster. I'm wondering how long it will be before the text based online games and online RPG's we know will start to lose players on a massive scale, and could even start closing down? I think that a lot of the textbased stuff are being kept alive because of the older generation of computer enthusiasts, who find textbased play enjoyable, since they grew up with it. I think their'd really be no interest if someone came with textbased or audio games to a mainstream school or university, and tried to get students interested. Some students might find it a bit of a novelty, but they would of course rather play their games, where they can see and use brilliant graphics, still have good sound, and use their mice to just quickly click and make decisions.
