All, This is an immediate opportunity to raise the issue of EA's total indifference to accessibility.
Michelle Hinn is the chair of the Accessibility special interest group of the Independent Games Developers Association. Right now as we speak she's preparing to present and have a booth at the E For All Expo, in San Francisco, Oct 18 - 21. This would be a wonderful time to forward EA's email to her and ask her to raise this issue in public. I mean, they are the biggest developer bear in the industry. They have just demonstrated, for the record, a total indifference to the blind community. This Audyssey group contains the main developers and players in the blind community. She's the head of the main SIG for game accessibility. Is this a perfect storm, or what? Someone who's been around awhile and can represent this Audyssey collective should organize an ePetition or somesuch and eMail it to her at: [EMAIL PROTECTED] EA could be asked in public to change their policy and put some of their massive revenue into accessibility. They do respond to negative publicity, as demonstrated by the Developer Spouse flap last year.
