I think also that some console games that blind people are already playing 
by themselves would be good examples also.

>> (https://www.cmpevents.com/GDAU07/a.asp?option=C&V=11&SessID=5857). We

>>> All,

>>> This is an immediate opportunity to raise the issue of EA's total

>>>
>>> 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.
