Paul, you have a good point. I think it's important to note, though, that this isn't exactly a role reversal... the developers have been transparent about making this inclusive from the very beginning, so luckily, it's not an audiogame first with graphics slapped on... it was designed from the beginning to involve sighted players as well as those who would play it audio only, which I think is awesome. Ah, thanks for the tip Chris. Wish I'd've known that before a lot of the good rewards ran out! hehe. But this doesn't change the amount I am going to pledge, as I fully believe in what this company is trying to do.
