[games_access] IGDA Newsletter, Great Story on Page 16 and 17.

[D. Michelle Hinn]

Great article! The Prospective Newsletter is a new format rather than  
the old text newsletter -- you are right it's looking really great!

Dragon Age will certainly be considered for the ELAN award shows  
"Most Accessible Mainstream Game of 2009" award -- it will be going  
against a number of games in a multitude of genres but certainly it's  
a very strong entry! This is the first time that an industry award  
show has picked up the torch of accessibility (believe me, I  
know...I've been arguing for shows to include this for years and  
years now and they put it into the show when finalizing their  
categories in November!). I really feel like all of us are moving in  
the right direction!

So good on you Mark for getting game accessibility into the  
newsletter in such a big way! You should be proud!

Michelle
