[games_access] Call for paper - AbleGamers

[Sandra Uhling]

Hi Steve,

Is this short version ok?

 

Advantages of accessible games:

Ø  enables many people to play,

Ø  facilitates many people playing,

Ø  improves usability for all gamers,

Ø  creates ideas for innovations. 

Ø  => The overall quality is increased for all players.

Other benefits of accessible games:

Ø  Expansion of the potential target group [1]

Ø  Extension of the application areas [2]

Ø  Cheats are sometimes used also for PR, Tests, Development 
 [3]

[1] e.g. Silver Gamer, Gamer with a disability, Beginner, People who do not
have much time (to train, for complex puzzle)

[2] e.g. Serious Games, Exergaming, Rehabilitation 
* exergaming: a game that is accessible does also support "exotic"
controller like "real" boards.
** e.g. SSX is great to play with a real board, but the game is not balanced
for this type of controller
* rehabilitation: a game that can be configurated (speed, difficulty) is
easier to use in rehabilitation. 

[3] It would be much easier, when these cheats would be part of the games.
There would be no need to deactivate or delete them. (Easier for
development, test, 
)
