as far as pure prices go, I actually think accessible games do very well. usually assistive tech and other specialist vi products are priced through the roof, ----- Seven quid for braille paper, as opposed to about 50 P for standard paper (and you get a lot more sheets as well).
If I'd have had to buy a new lisence for Hal when i bought my desktop, it would've cost more than all the other software and hardware combined! In fact, sinse most audio games are priced in dollars, they work out half as cheap as most mainstream games for me, unless there's a heck of a good deal on somewhere.

After reading some of the posts I totally agree that all visually impaired people whether totally blind etc should pay for games. I myself can't work due to illness but I'd never go the route of not paying for a game because I couldn't afford it. Bad enough it's simple wait until you have got enough funds to afford it and then get it. Unfortunately there are those out there who due to their sight loss think they can have everything for free that's not the case. Take rnib for example the last time I checked a4 braille paper was about £7.99 per packet. Sorry for going a little ot. I prefer to pay for a game because of the time and effort gone into making something we visually impaired can enjoy. Keep up the good work game developers. >From john snowling. --- Gamers mailing list __ [email protected] If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can make changes or update your subscription via the web, at http://audyssey.org/mailman/listinfo/gamers_audyssey.org.
