An interesting article. I would have liked him to give examples of "accidental accessibility", but it was an interesting read nevertheless. I think it's really sad that much of the blind community is restricted to either adapting to a very small amount of mainstream games, or what passes for "blind friendly" games. Most of the latter I've come across seem to be either casual games, online RPGs or text adventures. I'd love to see an audio game with a strong narrative focus. I know for certain it could be done, as I have played games which I feel could easily be adapted.
