Visually Impaired Gamer Sues SOE
According to GameSpot, visually impaired gamer Alexander Stern filed a lawsuit against Sony Online Entertainment last month that alleges "Sony is violating the Americans with Disabilities Act by failing to implement features to make its games accessible to visually impaired gamers." The suit appears to focus on MMOs and states that other companies, such as Blizzard, have made their games accessible through the use of third-party mods.
AbleGamers, a site dedicated to disabled gamers, reported on the lawsuit and made a statement regarding the site's stance on the issue. "While I can understand this gentleman's frustration I do not believe that the courts are the place to forward accessibility in the gaming space," said Mark Barlet, president of the AbleGamers nonprofit foundation.
