Default [Gamespot] Blind Man Sues Sony Entertainment
First news post. Searched and didn't find it to be a re post.


Quote:
Beyond the denial of entertainment, the suit also contends that Sony's actions have caused visually impaired gamers a financial loss. Because Sony runs an official auction site where gamers can sell their in-game items for real money, the suit says Stern's inability to participate in that marketplace is costing him money.
Man people will really sue for anything. I don't have anything against disabled people (my dad is disabled) but I really hope Sony wins this one.
Com'on there called VIDEO games.

I hope for the sake of everyone he doesn't win. It would set a horrible precedent. I can't believe I have to park farther away at Wal-mart for people like this

I don't see how this could even make it to court.

"Blind gamers." ...How exactly is any gaming going on. lol...

Quote:
"Sony has constructed the products in a way that is inaccessible to plaintiff; maintains the products in this inaccessible form; and has failed to take any action whatsoever to correct these barriers even after being repeatedly notified of the discrimination that such barriers cause," according to the suit.
Yes, damn Sony for not making magical controllers that make blind people see..

This is so sightless. How can this man possibly see this going to court?

That is the most ignorant thing I have seen in awhile. Even as a joke, (which this isnt) it is still unreal how ignorant that statement is.

There are certain things that shouldn't have to be accessible to blind people.

Such as video games.

This may or not pass.

I say no, because it is only COMMON SENSE that this will not pass.

But thanks to the great people that are now in power of this country, it has a good chance.

55% that it will not pass

45% that it will.

I seriously hope he doesn't win. I mean comeon. That's just ridiculous. You can't god damn see, get over it. Why don't you just sue the world? Sue Scholastic for printing books you can't read. Sue the city for street signs you can't read. MORON.
