He did have a lot of personal issues, but I think he could have handled the
outcome much better than he did. And a whole bunch of blind gamers did not
make things any easier on him. That compounded the matter. I was furious
with the complainers, not because they complained, but in the manner in
which they did so. I sided with James on that issue. I blamed them for
being, I think, the major reason he gave up the endeavors of game creation
for blind gamers. I sure didn't like the way he left, though.

Hi Willem,
It's ok. Tyler does have a good point. Buying games on a pre-order status
is a bad idea. In a situation like ours.
There are too many things that can go wrong between the time the money is
paid and the scheduled release date.
Biggest problem is that all of our major accessible game development
companies are one to three man operations, and if something major pops up
like a death in the family, illness, computer failior, etc any scheduled
release date is going to go straight out the window. I know it happened to
me, and weather many people know it or not James North had a lot of
personal issues that kept getting in the way of release dates too. Point
being anything can go wrong, and when it does those on pre-order are then
going to turn on you for some event or events out of your personal
control.

negativity.
Thank you.
btw as a potential game developer you should really know better.
