Unfortunately you're right on the money. Big name game companies aren't gonna care that you were making their products accessible to the blind. While i personally agree with the philosophy that if someone takes a mainstream game and accessibilizes it (note the preceeding is not actually a word), it's the original dev's own fault for not doing it in the first place, that doesn't change the fact that they have the power, and they're all too happy to use it, to make our lives miserable. I wouldn't want to be on the wrong side of Lucas Arts from all I've heard about them. Time is an illusion, lunchtime doubly so. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ryan Smith" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Gamers Discussion list" <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, March 16, 2008 5:29 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Copyrights and Commercial Games.
