Hi Charles,
Yes, precisely. that's one of the things I'm still trying to figure out
myself. It seems like the argument being made by some blind list
members is the opinion they don't need graphics so nobody else does
either. That's just being self-centered and is absolutely irrational
thinking.
If that were the case then we could say Richard De Steno's games don't
need sounds either. A deaf-blind gamer only needs to read the text, he
can't hear sounds, so we don't need sounds either. So let's get rid of
all of the sounds and just use text. That would be totally ridiculous
from a blind gamers point of view, because he or she can hear the sounds
even if a deaf-blind gamer can't. Same principle applies to having some
graphics in audio games for sighted players.
Weather we can use them or not isn't the point. The entire point here is
to make said games as playable to as many people as possible by adding
audio for blind gamers, graphics for sighted players, text for a
deaf-blind gamer, etc if possible. In that way everyone has access to
the same app but through a different method.
Cheers!

I can't figure out why blind people don't think there should be at
least a little feedback, even if it doesn't aid in the playing of the
game, for the sighted gamer. Using that logic, there should be no
sound for any game designed for a deaf gamer. Of course, if there
were sound, maybe a blind player could play the game, too? But
without any sound, the speaker must be broken, right? Same idea.
