The argument for games being a positive thing -- uniting players in a community online -- can become a very slippery slope if a game creates standards of practice that exclude anyone at all.

There's something clean and tangible about the written word that voice chat just can't attain. It would be cool, though, if each user configured their clients to their voice, and you could have a speech-to-text interpreter writing what is said to the screen. It would take some keen game design and interface development, but that could finally bridge the gap between gamers who just can't type fast and purists like me who prefer text.
