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

According to Petr Bláha:

It's not a blind gamers' site, but they sell cross-platform games. It 
has been said that those who pay for games that run natively on Linux 
pay a higher average price than those who buy them for Windows and even 
for Mac. I do believe that this goes to show that Linux users are indeed 
willing to pay for game development. It would be even better if they 
would sell a GPL license along with the games, but I do like what I see 
on that website, and maybe, just maybe, developers of games for blind 
and visually impaired users could use it as an example of just how well 
Linux development could work for them.
