mmmm no Orin, sorry if I didn't put that correctly. It was another company who said they didn't want blind people playing their game (I never got that exact response myself, but someone I know did). Cthulhu nation were incredibly eager to help though they had no experience in net accessibility.
what they needed was someone to go through the game and provide really good accessibility feedback, ---- as I said on the list a while ago (check the archives for details), I wasn't able to myself because of limited time, but if anyone else wants to, it would be a good thing. beware the Grue!
