yeah games are secondary, fair enough I suppose. don't lose heart though, we are not out the woods yet. I know for example that mushclient can work direct with jaws and windoweyes and a map exists for lonewolf in hal 5 and later. I think though that expecting the manufacturers to make game scripts just won't happen, however thats no big concern, all readers, hal, jaws and windoweyes have some form of scripting, jaws is scripted and has been for a long time. windoweyes and hal although they had setting and map files respectively have got scripts and people are actively using and developing, true it may cost a bit to get the script adition of the software but at the end of the day you have the tools. nvda was made in python and its an opensource system, you can write modules for it these are scripts by default.
