Hi trouble, I know your sentiments seem correct in your assertion about the amount of Windows gamers vs potential Mac / iOS etc gamers, but let me share something.
Perhaps you already know I moderate two lists for visually impaired Mac / iOS users. On only one of those lists alone there are at least three times as many members as on this one. -And, we're getting about 10 to 20 new members each week on each list… So to say that there is only a hand full of potential Mac / iOS gamers is not quite right. :) -Know what I mean?… Thanks, and have an awesome evening!… Smiles, Cara :) --- View my Online Portfolio at: http://www.onemodelplace.com/CaraQuinn Follow me on Twitter! https://twitter.com/ModelCara On Apr 1, 2012, at 4:37 AM, Trouble wrote: Well Ryan is not far off on his thoughts for platform. If you would think a moment. Just where do the majority of the blind or disabled get there computer/ The go to the government and orgs. Witch have contracts with FS and that means windows based computers. Not many orgs want to go against contract and get a Mac from Apple. Just because cross platform sounds nice, it's not practical think in the blind community. There are still only a handful that run Mac or linix. Those are mostly thought of as private ventures. That is why support for linix stuff is not really that good for us disabled. Yes, your going to say it is, but in reality it is being left behind and broken with every build. When doing programming for the mas community. You have to look at the reality and not what is fantasy only the game goes that rout.
