Hello,

I read a paper and I do not agree with the content.

Every gamer should be able (and has the right for this)
to play the game they like. Also when the game experience is changed or
lost.

For example DDR. It should be ok to play it like you want
as long as it is fun (ok you should not hurt others of course)
Play with a pad, keyboard, hand pad, ....

It is wrong to think that a game need a special complex
interface or it has to be difficulty. That is bad thinking.


I found only three reasons "against" Accessibility.
Serious Games:
* the barrier is part of the aim, it is needed
(e.g. color check, you do not need sound information here)
* the gamers needs this skills
(e.g. a fireman has to be able to see)

AND of course it should be possible.
(e.g. Tomb Raider for blind is not possible without making a second game) 


Best regards,
Sandra
