... so he tries to sue sony!?

"It also requires that no individual shall be discriminated against on the basis of disability in the full and equal enjoyment of the goods and services."

I don't see how any product can actually satisfy this. How can you even quantify and compare enjoyment?

Common sense would dictate that if you're f*cking blind, a g*ddamn VIDEO game would be a bad idea to begin with, since the core component is, y'know, VIDEO.

But you just know he's going to win, against all odds, logic, and common sense. Goddamn it.

By definition, a video game is a game which utilizes VIDEO. This is ****ing terrible and stupid.

I do believe video games aren't accommodations.

Unless every game has a "NOMAD" style control setting like the CoD franchise. It was made for a guy that plays with his face.

Its just as bad as people falling down a flight of stairs because they were doing handstands and suing the builders who made it. The law is messed up

Blind people cant really play because they cant see. So whats the point of playing?
