    So, the fact that I can’t read braille isn’t stopping me from enjoying the medium of reading, just that there are some books that are meant for people other than me? Not all books are meant for me to enjoy and that doesn’t mean I’m being gatekept by braille? Is that the point you’re trying to make?

      No. Very wrong.

      There are all types of people on this planet. Some of them have the same interests and wants as you, but something happened to them during or after birth that drastically lowered their quality of life. Just because you were born or ended up at this point in your life just fine doesn’t mean that their issues are any less important.

      All the books you like, someone with disabilities might want to read. We have the tools to make that book into a form they can partake in the excitement of that book.

      That is my argument. No matter what you may have to say, it does not mean others shouldn’t be able to partake in the same activity.

      Basketball was probably thought to be a “normal” human thing to do, but instead of being bound by that, we have wheelchair basketball. I think that’s beautiful and a perfect example of being able to accommodate someone’s physical needs.

      There is literally no other reason than being an asshole on why someone shouldn’t want more people to be able to play a video game.

        Fine. You’re being purposely gatekept from videogames. You’re entirely right and entitled to everything. Have fun being mad about it. Everyone other than you is just an asshole. Have a good one.

          Of course not! Only those who took the time to reply and try to defend their hardcore gamer feelings are assholes. Normal people would just say, “yeah. That makes a lot of sense actually. Everyone should be able to physically play my favorite games!” But you can’t do that for some weird reason. Sad.

            Sometimes game design makes it physically impossible. Any foot based rhythm game (DDR, PIU. DRS) is not playable by wheelchair bound people. Most good vr games will give motion sickness to people. Those people can enjoy different games that are designed with them in mind

                  You’re not really good at this, are you? I’m not a game developer. They have the power to do this, I do not. It was even stated in the OP photo that the director made the game harder, for no other reason than to be a dick. And you applaud that for some reason. It’s mind boggling.

                    Then develop your own game and do it. Nobody is obligated to make something that is intended for literally everybody to enjoy in the exact same way. That’s just life, not everything is for everyone, and not everyone who is developing a game has the time, budget, or focus to out that element into their game that has a specific need to be a specific thing. And people are allowed to make their game the way they choose, just like any other form of art.
