Blind gamer has lawsuit against Sony
Quote:
The Examiner reports that Sony is facing a lawsuit from a blind gamer named Alexander Stern in California. Mr. Stern contends that even after repeated requests he made to Sony via email to revise their games to make them more accessible, the company did not revise their games. For blind gamers, this is a big deal.
The gamer sued under Title III of the ADA and under California civil rights law.
ADA Title III requires that all public accommodations and facilities from commercial and non-profit entities be accessible to disabled Americans.
...
Anticipating Sony's argument that the games do not fall under ADA Title III, Stern has asked the court for a declaratory statement that they do.
He also claims violations of California civil rights laws similarly guaranteeing access to public accomodations.
...
The fact that Mr. Stern can not enjoy full and equal enjoyment of Sony's games is outlined in his complaint: "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."
Mr. Stern is also claiming financial losses since Sony holds an auction site where gamers can sell the items that they win in these games for actual cash.

What a blatant cash grab. I don't mean to insult the blind, but they're VIDEO games for crying out loud. At least, I'm assuming they're talking about video games because they don't really say.
What next, suing movie studios for making movies with visuals? wtf?

What the hell - I'd like to see (no pun intended) this guy come up with a suggestion as to what Sony should do to make their games more accessible to blind people.

^ only issue would be crouched/people up high. Unless you could get some crazy 14.1 surround with up/down speakers.

Deaf people should sue the fucking RIAA so they know what it feels like to be slammed with dumbass ridiculous lawsuits.

I imagine, he's arguing for things like Brail cases/manuals
i dont think he would be arguing for Sony to let him expierience the game more than he is able to (like a Sony helmet thats attached to his brain so he can see the game)
