Re: [orca-list] Great news for blind gamers

[Petr Bláha <hammet pb seznam cz>]

Off course, it would be great if game developers would port all their 
games from windows to linux or mac, so these games become cross platform 
and all the blind gamers would be able to play them, not only in single 
player, but in multiplayer as well.
But i thing it is unreal, they won't do it, cause it needs too much work 
for them and especially for these who develop commercial games, which 
they want to get money for.
Nobody will pay them money for porting their games to linux or mac, so 
games ported from windows to these platforms would be probably more 
expensive, to pay their wowk with porting.
