[games_access] Ubisoft and Game Accessibility, Subtitle

[oneswitch at googlemail.com]

Great spot, Sandra.

To be predictable - I'm not fond on some of the language ("sight 
handicap") - but I think the games could be useful in some areas certainly.

As for Ubisoft wishing to add subtitles - lets hope they'll be easy to 
follow - and also describe sounds and music - who is speaking - how they are 
speaking and so on. Excellent article here:
