A side note: as a gamer with a visual limitation how well do you do? I mean how many games are out there that you are able to adapt to be able to play? I imagine there are an endless number of games that are completely impossible and others that so much of the content is dependent on sight that playing it wouldn't be satisfying. This comes to mind for me due to an auto accident I had a couple years ago that effectively rendered me blind as far as computer use. I lost vision in one eye and because it was my dominant side and I have always had two I was unable to focus on anything closer then 20+ feet away. I was home bound for some time and to use a computer was completely futile and it gave me a new found respect for people that use screen readers. of which everyone I have met is insanely fast when using.
