Thanks Thomas, glad to be of service. :) It seems this question comes up from time to time and while I personally don't disagree with the sentiments Michael is expressing in the sense that we really should have more high quality audio games which better reflect the mainstream, I also think that many of us here feel this way too. Nothing wrong with that. :)
It's just that with essentially no incentive for devs to do what needs to be done to create these sorts of projects, we're likely to have slow-going for a while. :) As I am writing this another idea just came to me. I wonder if anyone has pursued something like an NEA grant? (in the states) I bet that an audio game would satisfy the requirements for one of the many grants which are constantly on offer… This might be a way that at least more small projects can be accomplished or helped along at least… Anyway, let me wish you and everyone else a lovely holiday season! Thanks to everyone as always, for the great discussion! Cheers!
