Hi Dark, Point well taken. Obviously, Audyssey has always been primarily concerned with games for the blind and low vision, and that will remain our primary focus. Really, what I said earlier was a throw away comment and too much has been made of it as my actual meaning and intent got lost somewhere along the way. All I meant initially was using more inclusive language when describing our games as to make people aware that they are not necessarily a blind only product.
To give you an example quite some time back I wrote a simple Blackjack game in Python for Windows, Mac, and Linux. Okay, it was text based, really simple, and if I advertised it as a blind game or game for the blind most non-blind player's would automatically assume it is something specially made for the blind and the blind only. However, as it is text based there is no reason a sighted person couldn't play it as well as someone who was deaf, deaf-blind, had motor impairments, etc. So the wording when advertising such a product is very important as by advertising something as a game for the blind can be misleading to people who aren't aware of what a game for the blind is. Do you get my meaning now? Cheers!
