Re: Blind gamer sues Sony

What do I think? - All I ask is that people and companies make REASONABLE adjustments for access.

I used to play games like everquest and everquest 2 - or eve online - but can't do so anymore so I just moved onto something different.

I play fps' now like cod 4. I can't see it very well at all, but you'd be surprised at how well I do with a ball of red woll I can still make out movement, albeit distorted.

There has to come a point where it's just not worth it / pratical to spend the money implementing these things. For example take my braille, only 18,000 people in the uk actually read it, does this mean we should make ALL manuals in boxes also sent out with braille in them? no - but I can nine times out of 10 ask for one to be sent out to me.


Would I sue sony to make games more accessable? no. Would i kick up a fuss when I go to get my pills and they don't have braille on the box for example - too right I would.

That's the kind of priority I'd like to see for accesability (for me - selfish I know but it's just my opinion and all ) not games.

Anyway, just my little rant, sorry for talking poop. Normal service will now be resumed

edit (sorry) - plus of course there are SO many different levels of visual impairment I don't think you COULD make everyone happy.
