[Trainer-Talk] #keepBlindfoldGames

[laotab ~]

Just to keep on same thread this is my original email and I already posted their reply:
I just saw the message that the blindfold games need to be made into apps.  Not being a tech person…Marty Schultz gave a brief description of what would need to be done.  I am completely blind for 14 years now.  I do not watch TV or movies.  I do not play many games.  But I do have a few of the blindfold games.  What you are asking of him or just to change what he is doing is criminal.  Just the fact that he can give any pleasure to the blind community at all is a saving grace.  You should be ashamed.

He should not have to do this.

For those of you not following this issue: Two weeks ago, Apple rejected 3 updates: Blindfold Hopper, Blindfold Craps and Blindfold Horserace, by saying it violates a new rule of the App Store: apps that vary only by content (such as video or audio or text) must be merged into one app.  I explained that these apps are all different, and that only their menus and settings screens are similar.  I requested a phone call to discuss this further.
Apple’s decision as of Wednesday evening is that unless I merge the 80 Blindfold Games into a handful of apps, they will no longer allow new games to be released or allow updates to be made.
