Reality check for Justin: Seeing as you know nothing about what went on
between James North and a lot of blind gamers, you should say nothing.
While it is true that, as the saying goes, "If you can't stand the heat, get
out of the kitchen", there was also absolutely no reason for these people to
send him the eMails that they sent not only to this list, but to James
personally. He was not thin skinned. He took an awful lot of totally
unnecessary abuse, a lot of it personal rather than about his business, from
childish and impatient whiners who did not realize that problems do come up
during beta testing, and that he would not distribute a buggy product. He
announced an expected, not set in concrete, date of release, and then sent
updates if that date was not going to be met. In his updates, he gave the
reason for the pushing back date of the game. I saw some of these eMails,
and would have thrown these adult children into a playpen to fight among
themselves over a pacifier if I could have. They went beyond nasty by far.
If you think you're finished, you! really! are! finished!!

Okay, reality check: if a developer cannot handle the heat, he
shouldn't be a developer, or, at the very least, have someone else
handle his public relations.
I don't know anything about this James person you guys are on about,
but based on what I have heard, he sounded like a thin-skinned
narsicist that needed to get over himself. What, did he actually think
that the main stream gaming public would treat him better? Hate to
break the news, but main stream gamers are just as, if not more so,
toxic; just as demanding; just as unforgiving. If you want to develop
games, you had better be prepared to handle that reality and not cry
about it when the Internet takes a swing at you.

Hi all,
I completely agree, it’s good to give feedback to developers but not be
nasty or slag them off. If your not satisfied with what your getting then
why not learn the skills and make a game you want?
Kind regards.

Yep so true. It is also not right to talk about another product on a
list
that is specificly for one product, which is what one person did, and he
caused a lot of headaches for a lot of people.

It is very sad when people are nasty with developers of games for the
blind.
We have lost so many developers do to this reason.
It is cool to give ideas or suggestions, but not to be nasty with them.
