Hi it's Blind Fury I agree with your suggestions persuading companies to make games accesible not forcing the isue because I agree with that by forcing the issue it will make us look bad because we are supposed to be treated like everyone else instead of being catored too. Si if we just give them suggestions and tell what they could benefit if they made games accessible I think they would show a better attitude at looking at the issue instead of throwoing in our faces because we forced it. anyway reguards, Blind Fury ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bryan Peterson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Gamers Discussion list" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, February 17, 2007 10:53 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Forcing accessibility was: deal or no deal
