And to be honest the only way to make a sim accessible is if say you do
it like eurofly.
Thats a good sim, its accessible, weather its a real game is a different
matter.
Ofcause the accessibility companies could get involved.
Can you imagine thoughh, get a message.
"this game requires a licence for jaws, and leasy and a licence for
scripts which will cost 2000000 dollars to buy, please buy the games
scripts from x website to play the game which will have half its puzzles
removed so it can comply with the law."
No one will play it.
No one will buy jaws just for a game, and no one will make games
accessible and they can argue it costs to much to bother.
Suddenly there are a lot of suits and the law will get removed to stop
gaming companies going out of business.
A law is nice but it doesn't always work for you.
The big companies may or may not be able to handle it or sue for
exemptions the small guys though.
If the law is to make games accessible, then it probably works both
ways, the sighted will need to play our games etc.

Hello,
In tehory, of course they should.
In practice, they usually don't, whether by ignorance, or because they
estimate that the cost to add such features don't cover the benefits
that they could get in blind people buying the game. Go explain them
how many we are in the world...
However, I seriously doubt that some types of games are really
accessibilisable. It depends on the core game mechanic, and, ammong
others, the need for a permanent global view at opposed to local/1st
person view.
