Hi,
What video game makers aught to do and software developers is to release all
software and all operating systems under the gnu general public license. In
fact, there should be a law in the United States that requires all software,
hardware and operating systems to be released under the gnu
No, because then we'd be making no money off of it and the market would just
collapse.

As a follow up to my last message talking about the market collapse, I think
this is already happening with the audiogames market. Take Super Liam, for
instance. It's an excellent game. Guess what? Someone comes along and builds
something like it--and releases it for free. Now people will no
The other way is to make games like the mainstream ones but with enough
dissimilarities that it won't infringe on the copyrights, such as not using
any of the sounds from the original game or the names of things. For
example, my Space Attack game is a lot like Space Invaders, but I believe
Hi,
Not only software, but food, hardware, everything in the world that is sellable
should be put under the gnu general public license. the license should be
adapted to apply to food, hardware, cars, everything. The goal of an artist
should not be to simply do it for the money. the goal or the
Hi,
Here is another advantage to open source games. If there were a major bug it
could be fixed a lot faster, we could modify video games to add accessibility.
We would have the freedom to see just how that playstation works and to make it
do things like talk. Lets say windows vista had been
Hi,
They do and they don't. Cononicle makes their money by providing tech
support services, by providing on site training, providing printed
manuals, getting donations, and so on. They make absolutely nothing off
the software itself.
The primary difference between a company like Canonicle and
Hi,
Exactly, and after the software market collapsed no one would be willing
to become a programmer. There would be no money in it. They may as well
be a lawyer, doctor, or something else. They'd make more money at
Wal-Mart as a checkout clerk than they would doing programming if

Hi,
NVDA is free, and it is not failing. Orca and speakup are not failing either
they are alive and well.

Hi,
Not only that I've used Linux for several years and have seen both the
good and the bad aspects of open source software. Some tech support and
documentation is very good and some is virtually non-existent. Just
because someone creates a piece of open source software doesn't entitle

Hi Josh,
What you have here man is idealism at best, or a load of old tosh at
worst I'm afraid. The only way this would ever happen would be when
human's find something they value more than money, in which case their
services and time will be traded for that thing as a currency instead.

Hi,
Sorry, but what you are suggesting is currently little more than a pipe
dream. True Marxist communism, like you described, isn't compatible with
most people. There will always be greedy people, those who hunger for
power, those who desire wealth, whatever. It is an incurable part of
human
Hi Josh,
Sigh...The developers of NVDA, Orca, Speakup, etc have real jobs making
money somewhere else. They work on programs like NVDA or Orca in their
personal free time. In other words it is free and voluntary work with no
expectation to earn off their software creations. As long as they

I too believe in paying for good games. Though I never made an audio game my
self, being a writer of novels and music, I sort of am in the same boat- a
clap on the shoulder and a 'good job' is just not enough to keep my rent
paid.
However, I think the reality is that if someone can come up with

this is my final message on this topic after this I think it should be closed

Hi Josh,
While I am a fan of open source software solutions such as Linux,
Firefox, etc there are a number of reasons why using the GNU General
Public License for everything simply wouldn't work.
First, most software companies make their money directly off the sale of
their software products.
i've been playing the game for one month and i still have problems with
the curves. the thing i need to know about is the sound that it make
when you are on a curve. does the pitch get higher when you need to
turn or does it get deeper? i think i will do alot better when i find
this out. i
This file is me playing one of the songs on rock band 2 on expert guitar, and
finishing it. Here's a bit more proof to suggest that blind people don't need
so many adaptations to make certain games accessible.. especially games that
were previously thought to be entirely visual.
i understand what everyone has said on the list about video games. for
me to play games i will have to get an old video game system. from
what i have heard the super nintendo was the best when it came to audio
in games for example when you play mortal kombat you can tell when the
person you
You never know about new games until you try. I can name you a few that are
jam-packed with audio and are as informative auditorially as some of the old
games you mentioned. A few examples are below:
Street fighter 4
Tekken games, any of them
Soul Calibur, again any games in the series.
