[games_access] We must get data sooner than later

[AudioGames.net]

Hi,

I'll try and get some new statistics from the Accessibility foundation, 
which usually has some stuff lying around - at least for Europe. By the way, 
for those who don't know yet, I have left the Accessibility foundation for 
at least half a year to work at the School of the Arts Utrecht (where I 
already worked too) in order to finish my PhD thesis. This means that much 
of what I did at Accessibility (such as GA.com, GA articles and GA research 
and stuff) is temporarily on hold *for me*. The foundation continuous with 
their game accessibility activities and although I tend to only focus on my 
PhD for now, I will be doing some GA stuff, like the HCII conference and 
also some stuff for a possible upcoming European project on game 
accessibility. I'll be available through email as usual so you'll probably 
won't really notice any difference. And I will continue my SIG-related 
activities as usual. And since I officially still work for Accessibility, 
but am only on a temporary leave, I will continue to watch over GA.com.

Greets,

Richard
