Agreed! I think we've come a long way since the likes of this:
http://kotaku.com/177926/retro-remakes-big-2006-retro-remaking-contest. It
seems that we're winning over the press from the myriad of articles I've
seen across the years. The indie community have always been receptive. Some
progress with the mainstream. It's heading in the right direction...

 

The break-through that's yet to come is getting hardware manufacturers on
board. I grimace at every new Apple, Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo launch.
None of them seem to give game accessibility a thought at more than a
cursory level. Wish we could get them to listen. Wish there were more
standard ways of interfacing controllers...

 

I know there's things moving in the background, but it's still too slow!
