We do have a screen reader version of the main site, it is not perfect but is a good try given the tools we are using. http://ablegamers.com/?template=beez . Also, 508 has lots of parts, but for the web the main disability is the blind and deaf (for multimedia content). We have looked at our demographic and shockingly (no not really) the totally blind are not big consumers of Left 4 Dead 2. That said the other 90+ % of the disabled community are. That is why we do not even rate a game based on it's playability for the blind. So while we have a screen reader portion of most our site, and all of the content converted to MP3 for consumption via an iPod the totally blind person is not really a target, nor are they a target of the mainstream gaming market (why the lawsuit is not going to go anywhere). We are all for web accessibility, and we are doing out best with the tools we have made available.

For the record, the site has a screenreader side. You can see the code for the screen read users at the top at the start of the body. http://ablegamers.com/?template=beez [ablegamers.com] it is not perfect but it is far better than the main site and we have loads of blind readers that say it is okay. We also have all the content converted into audio format for consumption on a iPod or other device. http://ablegamers.com/audio-ablegamers/AbleGamers-in-Your-Ear.html [ablegamers.com] We also understand that our target demographic is not the totally blind gamer... You may not know this, but there are a lot of other disabilities other than blindness... and that is the main one that W3 looks at. As I said, the totally blind is not a large demographic for the video game market Oh, and BTW, your link does not work

That said, most of the accessible features we are looking for are part of good design practices 101. For the most part we are not asking for special stuff, we want the game to have remappable keys, or played with a mouse, or remappable buttons on a controller. Not hard stuff. Also keep in mind that 17% of the population is disabled. A few accessible feature may just help you be that next blockbuster. As for the rest of your comments, those are all different departments, and I am sure that the voice actor is not being asked to fix bugs... it is kind of a strawman argument you are making.
