[games_access] IGDA Perspectives - Fantastic Spot for Game Accessibility

[Eleanor Robinson]

Hi Michelle and all - I sent in an article on how including 
accessibility in games made them better in a lot of ways for 
non-handicapped gamers.  I was told that it would be included in the 
next issue, not the January one.  Then the call for papers for February 
was included in this issue and it was for something other than 
accessibility.

Did others send something that did not get accepted? The entire issue was supposed to be about game accessibility and only Barrie turned in an article -- at least that was what I had heard.
