Awesome.

Someone commented that this is analogous to someone wanting to run a marathon with no legs.
Wheelchairs have competed in marathons for years now!
Interesting lawsuit, it will be intresting to see what comes of it...
"The Americans with Disabilities Act states that, "No individual shall be discriminated against on the basis of disability in the full and equal enjoyment of the goods, services, facilities, privileges, advantages, or accommodations of any place of public accommodation by any person who owns, leases (or leases to), or operates a place of public accommodation."
That's pretty vague language.
Not sure if the above statement covers the virtual or online world.
I'm also not sure if SOE games are public, I'd think they are more private since you have to own a subscription.
I don't think this lawsuit will get very far.
Anyway, because WoW and other companies accomodated these 3rd party programs and Sony did not is what brought this forth.
Either way, I really feel bad for people with disabilities, I couldn't even imagine experiencing a non friendly disability world....of course that doesn't mean the rest of the world has to accomodate them, but it'd be nice to do what we can.
so a few games put it in I still dont think every game should have it. If he wins he might as well sue a bowling ally and a casino because he cant play any of those either. Well he can but it would be like closing your eyes and shooting.....
So stupid. The fact is that you dont spend huge amounts of resources and money on features that only benifet 0.01% of your fanbase.
This is just someone looking for a free buck
wtf?
Also, im not being funny, but why is it Sony's fault he is blind? I mean, if i only had 1 leg, i couldnt drive a manual car. Should i sue the car manufacturers for not making that possible?
this is why I support spartan societ, the crippled, defunct or otherwise maimed in any way are slaughtered at birth. Fucking handicap parking spots...
I have a question, may be a little off topic but it does concern Sony. What makes it legal for them to keep my money if they ban me? I pay for a service based on a certain dollar amount for a finite amount of time. If through my actions they decide to cut me off before the time is up shouldn't they also refund the difference? Oh well I hate lawyers so I guess I would never sue them over this.
