Personally, if I find a link, I'll pass it on. Let's just be decent -
don't need the preaching.--Matthew Chao

Yes it is nice when someone is thoughtful enough to provide a
link. However, a lot of people don't have time to compile a
comprehensive resource list of links. Also, some of them, like
me, haven't put links into email enough to be comfortable doing it
so I might say something like, "Yes I know this is a PC game that
it is available. Put the title of the game into your search
engine of choice. Personally I don't like google so I use another
search engine (actually a couple) more often than google for a lot
of reasons. Some of us are working and/or on a lot of lists and
we don't have time to do all yoru research for you. Some of you,
Mitch for instance, I know you're not employed so you're home and
would have more time to do research on uyour own. When we give
ideas of what to type in in order to help someone research we are
encouraging that person to become more independent rather than
expecting others to simply hand them information and spoon feed it
to them. Sure, if you're friends with someone and want to provide
a link, no problem. But if someone gives you some
information,like the mame of a game or the fact that they found it
on google, then you're perfectly able to learn to look it up
yourself especially if you have time. Expecting someone to do it
for you when you have time to do it yourself is lazy and unfair to
other people and certainly not showing independenc eor
initiative. It is showing entitlement, expecting people to do all
the work for you. It's one thing if someone is new to tech or
newly blind or is extremely busy or whatever but the point is a
lot of blind people just don't bother to learn to research for
themselves and there's no reason why they can't. The purpose of
the lists is yes to share information but it's not just to expect
people to always hand you all the info without trying to get it
yourself as well.

Yes that is why I made this post in hopes that people would
pervade links to these things instead of like you said just
telling them to ook them up on google. So I agree with that.

My personal opinion is that if someone asks, specifically,
for links, and you know them, you should provide them, rather
than merely suggest that the person look them up on Google.
That would be far more helpful, which is the purpose of the
list. After all, there are times when it is still difficult
to quickly and easily find something through a Google search.

Have you tried searching on Google for something like "forza
motor sport
pc game"? That's what I always do and it usually finds what
I'm looking
for unless the game isn't on the PC.
