[games_access] AbleGamers Called Out on Apple.com

[Mark Barlet]

It is great news Steve, I am happy to see that it has such a star place on
the page. This is icing on the cake for the coverage. It has been covered by
The Escapist, Yahoo! Tech, Ars Technica and more, Even Dragon Ages own site
posted about it. It is really nice to see this topic finding it's way to
more mainstream outlets, and not the same usual suspects.

We hope to make some more news soon.

Also, still looking for more blogs to add to
http://gameaccessibility.org/news.html

Thanks all for the ongoing support.
