Robert: It is the same way with any kind of educational software...it is  
all out there for the able-bodied but no changes to accommodate a differently 
 abled person.

I give up on  humanity.  We are also stupid!  Ever since my disability I 
can't  believe I realize how the game design industry is almost like a lost  
cause. 
I can't wait for the  day to finally stick it to these stupid  developers. 
I hope my reply gets  posted on that web site for that lawsuit report.  I 
didn't see it but  this is what I wrote. 
“I can't  believe that human rights are so ignorantly  ignored. 
As human beings we think we are  invincible and as soon as we get a scratch 
or leg or an earthquake happens we  freak out thinking the world is ending. 
It makes sense that the online  environment is a public place. 
I'm a quadriplegic I am 28 years  old and I've been fighting for equal 
rights for videogames ever since I got my  degree in video game art and design 
at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh.   Yes I am one of the first half a degree 
in game design.  That's how  serious we gamers with disabilities want a  
change. 
It's ignorant and inhumane,  disgusting its disgraceful and I can't believe 
no one in this giant  corporations like Sony doesn't have a child with a 
disability or a disability  themselves or fears that they might develop a 
disability and not even be able  to play their favorite games.  It's a human 
commonsense called the human  condition. 
People are so stupid especially  the ones with power.  Sony think they are 
so smart.  They only give  a crap about money.  Who doesn't right? 
Some things just can't be changed  we are corrupt as human beings 
naturally.  We haven't changed for  thousands of years and the gaming industry seems 
to be untouchable.  As  long as geeks and nerds get their rocks off no one 
cares about anyone  else.

I think this reflect the  current view of games as entertainment; this will 
change as games become  platforms for public education. I'm working on such 
a project in  Sweden 
 
Kind  regards,

"Judge Tosses Blind Gamer's  Suit vs. SonyIn October a visually-impaired 
gamer sued Sony, alleging that  it wasn't fulfilling its responsibilities 
under U.S. law to provide access  to the disabled. The reasoning depending on 
finding that Sony's products  constitute a public accommodation. A judge said 
they  aren't."
