Hi Josh, Not sure who the question was aimed at, but I'll answer it anyway.
I've been thinking about Android game development. At least, looking into it. I am not willing to commit to developing for the platform, but I have both the skills and equipment to do it if I want to. The issue is a technical one here. As has been raised so many times developing software for the Android platform is a nightmare. Less than 2% of Android devices are running 4.4, and there is no way of knowing if someone is running a Samsung Galaxy S2, GalaxyS3, S4, or what version of Android they might be running. This causes no end to support and technical issues with running a game or app which is why it is less than ideal for a single developer to target the platform. The other issue is that in terms of blind users the lion's share of blind users have iOS. So ev en if I wanted to target Android I would be targeting a minority market in a minority market meaning that I'm not likely to make much money off of developing games for Android if I did so. As USA Games is a comercial company I don't think Android is really that much of a wise business decision for us right now. Cheers!
