You omitted the "I develop games primarily for visually/auditorily impaired users" part...

Simple turn based type games can be made with PHP/HTML. Unity, while vastly overpowered, might still be a reasonable choice from the ease of use perspective.

That has to be a troll.

Has it? I'm just about to move in an opposite direction (PHP development being 2-year long accident).

Utterly crazy as it sounds, he wouldn't be the first... http://www.phpdeveloper.org/news/6665

I don't think it's all that unreasonable, actually. I use Ubuntu and Unity has caught my eye. I would definitely try it if it had a Linux editor, but I'm not going to install Windows just to try it out.

I think it's about the comparison to PHP/HTML which might be usable in other areas but definitely not for 3d games/applications. It might be different with JS and WebGL but PHP is for a completely different use case than Unity.
