OK, I was browsing toprpgames.com out of bordom, and I came across the ninja rpg
www.theninja-rpg.com
The discription looked cool, so I decided to check it out. Unfortunately, to even log in to the game, you must enter one of those gastly captcha images. I emailed the developer with my concerns as I very much wanted to play. The response I got was maddening. Look for yourself.
What follows is my email, followed by his reply.
Hi.
I was browsing
toprpgames.com
because I was bored, and I came across this game. I am blind and use screen reading software to use the internet etc. This game looked promising, a relief
from all the other stock shit out there. But sadly I am unable to log in or register, since the game uses image varification, which is unreadable by screen
readers. Could you please remove the varification, so that myself and other blind people can play? Thanks.
Mike
No, I cannot. I never heard of such "screen reading" - Sounds pretty unbelieveable. Anyways, if I remove it a lot of people will cheat on the game, which
I cannot allow, sorry
I then informed him of freedomscientific and jaws for windows. I urge all of you to email him and inform him that blind people play online games as well.
His email is [email protected]
