Hi Che.
Personally I've always found John and Eleanor from 7-128 highly reasonable
and open to suggestion on many points, and sinse they have not responded on
this matter I'd say your being a trifle hasty, or at least putting your
point a litle too negatively.
While I do agree, I'm content to reserve judgement until we find out what
the top 25 happens to be this year, and also whether the criteria changes.
As to how the top twenty five works in the scheme of things. Well you are
right in that no it probably won't change the universe, however I will say
that 7-128 actually do a lot in terms of game accessibility generally, and
have links to various games and general access related organizations, from
able gamers to retroremakes, indeed I first heard of 7-128 myself when they
appeared in a magazine artical detailing their life style as well as their
game access work.
this means it's more likely to be seen by newcomers to audio games, and get
the exposure we all need.
so while I do agree perhaps the criteria were too narrow if it excluded
specifically designed accessible clients for online gameplay, (especially
sinse it counts games like sound rts and topspeed whos' single player mode
is hardly astounding), I think we should wait for a response, or indeed for
the list itself.
Also on a final note, the list is not personal.
just as I myself don't object to the fact that audiogames.net is always
behind pcs games, I don't think the exclusion of any site is intended as a
reflection of anyone's work, it just depends upon what criteria they use to
evaluate the sites in question.
Indeed I believe several factors such as google rank are things that few
people can do anything about.
Beware the grue!
dark.
