[quote=Kotaku]GameSpot reports that a man has sued Sony, Sony Online Entertainment and Sony Computer Entertainment of America, contending the company violates the Americans with Disabilities Act for not making its virtual worlds more easily navigable by the visually impaired.
The nature of Alexander Stern's visual impairment isn't clear from the report, whether that is total blindness or partial blindness, or some other form of sight disability. But his suit, filed in federal court in California, claims that Sony has ignored repeated requests to modify its games - the suit seems to focus on SOE's MMOs - and that the realms Sony maintains here are essentially public accommodations as defined by the ADA.[/quote]

Why would a blind guy buy a video game anyway, what possible way could there be for him to play the game?

The noise of being raped by a charger?
OOH WAIT PS3 WHOOPS LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
I don't think the ADA covers this, as a virtual world can hardly be considered public accommodations.

Why yes. Yes I am.
Hell, I'd sue sony for fucking up my blu-ray drive.
Also check it out, his main problem is that they don't have [b]visual cues[/b].
"I am completely blind and cannot easily play Mousetrap. I shall have to sue MB."
:downs:
How can they make it more easily navigable for a blind man. It's the same as trying to fix his stupidity.
The end of the case:
We find out he doesn't actually have a PS3, just a box of potatoes.

You should sue them then. :downs:
I wonder how him watching 2001: Space Odyssey would've looked like.
Do you even read. It's unknown if he's blind or just bad sight.

I [I]can't see[/I] why he's so upset.
Stupid visually impared man is stupid.

He would be all "Why has this weird music been going on, is anything important happening?" for the last half hour of the film.
[QUOTE=johanz;18250907]Do you even read. It's unknown if he's blind or just bad sight.[/QUOTE]
either way there are very very simple solutions.
Blind: what the fuck are you doing playing an mmo
Bad sight: get some glasses you cheap fuck

No. IF YOU HAVE TO EXPLAIN THE JOKE, IT'S NOT FUNNY!
What a loser, suing someone for not doing the near impossible. This is almost as bad as that one time someone tried to sue god.
