I am not impressed by the article. It does appeal on emotional level and
that is not what concerns the developers. It is simply cold, hard, cash.
We need to present our case for more accessible games from that perspective.
That will be the only way to get their attention.

Hi folks,
I read an article about Electronic Arts buying a small game company and they
immediately dropped all the small games the company was working on that they
figured would not make them at least 5 million in sales or sale at least
100,000 copies.
I think the article said that EA sells 2
The possibility that we might actually get through to mainstream devs. While
Ivon and others are right that they tend to want money and figures and such,
I doubt the entire blind gaming community combined could com up with the
amount of money necessary to please them. So emotional appeals are
Hello folks. I'm trying to remember. There was a mud that was i believe pure
pk. You had to build a base, research new technology that came with different
structures, and then after a grace period you could attack other players. It
also had some kind of paint ball arena to practice or play
Asault: High Tech War. And I'm not sure if it's still actually
running... I hadn't heard anything about it in a while.

First of all I am not familiar with abbreviations. So, I would consider
joining a forum if you gave me a full name for which to look it up. I would
also appreciate it if you would have the curtosey to give a name at the end
of your messages. I was not afraid to sign my name to my opinions.

I'll throw my two cents in.
Emotional appeals just won't work. For developers, for companies, it's all

Hiya,
I'd like to throw in a few logs myself, if this is a fire.
I'm not a big fan of saying that anything simply won't work, and I don't
like to jump on any bandwagon and criticize unnecesarily. I don't believe
any approach is without marrit. Advocacy is a wonderful and an important
