[games_access] Edge Magazine article & "Game Audio Network Guild Ambassador Award"

Tue Mar 25 14:33:54 EDT 2014

I agree, it was great to have the article in Edge right on time for GDC.

And awesome to hear about Brandons award and reception!

A very good year for accessibility at GDC indeed!

Best regards,
Thomas

It was a full double-page spread, and the issue of Edge that it happened to be published in turned out to coincide with GDC, so thousands of copies of it were given out free to developers over the course of the conference, hopefully should have raised a bit of awareness:
