Ari, While playing games as a hobby is a great undertaking, I think the biggest obstacle you'll find is that many of these organizations are going to want to focus on issues that are of greater importance to blind people in general--issues such as employment, training, etc. I think you have the right idea with regard to collective action, but in my opinion, games aren't the highest thing on my list of priorities, what with the blind unemployment rate around 74%

So, if some of us could somehow work on a sort of universal online petition or document together, that we could somehow then submit to major organisations like the Rnib, ACB, ONCE, and organisations in countries like Sweden, The Netherlands, Belgium, France, Denmark, Germany, Italy, Finland, Canada, and of course Korea and Japan, where gaming amongst the sighted communities are very popular, something could be done? To promote, for example, a football game, we should also not rule out football-crazy Brazil, sorry that I can't think of other countries at the moment. I didn't mention my country here, since here resources and funding are too stretched. How should we go about this? Is it a good idea?
