[BlindTlk] Accessible Video Game Systems?

[Ryan Mann]

If I have to use a service like AIRA to play a game, then that’s not accessibility.  I am glad that there are audio games coming out for Alexa devices.  I think if I want to play games, I will just use Alexa and save money on an Xbox and AIRA.
Just my opinion
