As has been pointed out before though, all the ideas in the world won't help of you can't find some way to convince a developer of the cost-effectiveness of making their games accessible. We don't even know in all reality how much extra it would cost them to do what we're asking. In theory it wouldn't cost much but we don't know for certain. And even if we did, it again comes down to convincing them. Michelle Hinn and others in this field could tell you how much luck we've had with that so far. Not a whole lot, or more games would be accessible. True Soundvoyager is certainly a step in the right direction but only a step. Time is an illusion, lunchtime doubly so. ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Bannick" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <gamers@audyssey.org> Sent: Monday, October 01, 2007 2:54 AM Subject: [Audyssey] Electronic Arts games
