Yeah, at the uni where I was previously, unfortunately because of a shortage of mobility instructors I couldn't get mobility, had unfortunately to rely on people helping, and you'd get other students stopping you and asking my sighted companion "so how is he today?" It's just the weirdest things that people expect or don't expect from blind people. On the subject of games being simplistic for blind people, I never played it so I can't comment on this, but Grizzly was the first audio game out, and some blind people apparrently used to write to Bavisoft claiming that it was over-simplistic, it insulted their intelligence and that it was not challenging enough, so they were basically saying that Bavisoft's had not made their game mentally challenging enough, and, correct me if I'm wrong, but is Bavisoft a sighted company, were those blind people thinking they were being patronised by sighted guys wanting to make money, not sure what they thought. It would also be great to hear thoughts particularly of people like Thomas on this subject, because he was of course sighted but went to college as a blind person, Thomas, did you play games for the blind with sighted students at college?
