Personally I wish EA games can be registered as a south African vendor for accessible games, as I battle a lot to buy games overseas. My dad doesn't want me to own a credit card and sending money via post is a big risk. It already happened with draconis entertainment with the sarah game I bought. Up until today it is not sure whether my money has been received but phil was so kind to arrange a key for me. Phil trusts me that I did send the money, but I can't take that risk in the future as the other developers from the USA might not be as lenient as phil. If I can buy a game such as sl through EA games, it would help a lot. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Søren Jensen Sent: Sunday, September 30, 2007 6:17 PM To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Electronic Arts games
Hi Richard. Techno Shock and Tank Commander are one of the most advanced games we have. I recommend you to show them these two games. Personly, I don't need to have EA games make special designed games only for us, but just some small adjustments so the games for sighted also are accessible to us. It's not very difficoult for them to make their games more accessible. It would be awesome, if we just could pick up a normal game for sighted, and know the game also is accessible for us!!!
