Well, if the sighted down want the audio features that we need, have a
option where they can turn them off and for we who need them have a option
so we can turn them on.

Subject: Re: [blind-gamers] Should video games have accessibility features?
Yes.
However I am really against accessibility having to be a law.
Fine, make it a law, but just like any compliance cost you just do
enough to fit it in with the law.
If that means putting in the description that the game is accessible and
paying someone to make sure that you won
't get trouble then thats what will happen.
Or a token but basically useless accessibility isn't accessibility at all.
The big guys, microsoft, soni maybe even nentendo probably won't have
much trouble some are moving towards this but especially with racing
communities and the online world.
No one will want dumbed down blindy friendly games with beeps and such
or games simplified for the blind.

I thought this would be a good time and a good topic to talk about.
Do you think or feel that developers of video games should add
accessibility for gamers who are blind?
Personally I think that it is a great idea for developers of video games
to add accessibility features.
Features such as text to speech to be able to navigate the different in
game menus.
Rumble function to indicate different in game actions.
Audio panning so that someone who is blind will know what is going on in
the game.
Audio cues to indicate different types of in game items.
I would like to hear your thoughts on this topic.
By the way let's be respectful with one another as we talk about this
topic.
