Yup. well put guys. Most people on here assume oh this is a video game,
therefore I must have sight to play or to get full enjoyment out of it,
which isn't actually true. I get 100% enjoyment out of games I play. If I
didn't, why would I play them? It's like the whole mouse issue when
audiogames with mice support came out. oh the mouse is a device for sighted
people only. why would a blind person use a mouse? it can't be done, etc,
which of course was the wrong assumption.

Hi Raul,
This is exactly the attitude I think Yohandi and Orin would like to see on
this list. I myself wouldn't mind seeing it, but I, like you, feel
everyone is entitled to what they think. I can name all sorts of games
that I play which are not designed specifically for the blind... all the
cards, Chess, etc... but I have much the same view as you do. If I enjoy a
game, I'll do whatever I can to milk as much enjoyment out of it as I
possibly can. And the same applies for console games. On no game case or
console box does it say blind people aren't allowed to use them or will
get less out of them than any other average person. We haven't lost
anything, in my opinion. If anything, we work our brains more by working
strategies and memorizing things based off stuff other than just visual
cues, but rather some mental calculations on our own part.
