Re: Blind gamer sues Sony
I can see how not being able to play would impact a disabled person as it is something that is affecting me i love my pc and gaming and use them to take my mind off the pain sometimes but my arms are becoming more limited in movement to the point i have trouble moving a mouse sometimes. Do i expect any company to do something in their games to enable me to play longer no of course i don't and neither should this guy really.
Should companys do what they can in practical terms to include all people in the playing of a game yes they should but there has to be a realistic approach that in terms of sight inpairment and video games there are extemely limiting factors in what any company can do.
As has been said there are just too many disabilities and too many degress of those disabilities for any company to ever satisfy all so no matter what they do they will always be losing someone. But this is an american and they do love their lawsuits so not really surprised and i suppose this should have been expected at some point by the games companys.
Any disability brings with it exclusion from activity of various kinds and it is one of the things that is hardest for disabled people to come to terms with but there are right and wrong ways to do that and this is the wrong way i expect sony will probably make a small payout to make this person go away and none of this will have any real effect.
