[games_access] Whinge and whine

[Richard (AudioGames.net)]

Yes... well... ditto that... maybe Mark would like to elaborate on that 
(if you're still here?)?

I can imagine that this is just "one of those phrases" to spice up the 
documentary. Sander and I used a sort of similar quote in our Gamasutra 
article on game audio frameworks* : "surprisingly little has been 
written in the field of ludology about the structure and composition of 
game audio. " - which unfortunately hurt some fellow game audio 
researchers in maybe a similar fashion. Even though I still believe it 
is factually true, I would now have used a lot more nuance.

At the end of the day, the IGDA-SIG was the first real organized attempt 
at tackling game accessibility issues. Proof:

(BIG WINK)

Greets,

Richard!
