You aren't listening. Yes people want the original game from the 70's and 80's. These are people who probably never played the original game because they couldn't see what they were doing and therefore couldn't actually do anything in the game. Or even if they did play it, they had to have sighted asistance in order to actually make progress. So of course they're going to get excited. The! game! is! being! made! accessible! We can play it ourselves for once. And did you not read the message he sent announcing his decision? Sure he'll stick with the original, but there's a chance for you to get your new, fancy game with all the bells and whistles once that's done. Don't mistake me for a minute. I'm all for new, more complex games than what we have now. Goodness knows we need them. But I too grew up with the Atari and the games it had available to it, so of course i'd love to see more of those games made accessible. There is nothing, and I mean absolutely nothing, wrong with taking an old game that wasn't accessible to blind people and making it accessible to them. If and when I start up my company there'll be a lot of that going on as well as the new games I make. Just because you yourself don't like what Thomas and other people are doing does not in any way mean that a lot of other people aren't going to. Besides, if you don't like the game nobody's going to tie you to a chair and force you to play it, so what's the big deal? The majority's cast their votes, so please, for the love of bob, let Thomas do his part.
