This post isn't here to offend anyone. Its only my views and if it does offend anyone then I apologise.
What Im really going to go on about is the amount of games that also include options that allow disabled people to play them.
Im going to focus mainly on deafness and blindness. I know there are a wide variety of others but Im going to concentrate on these.
Firstly blindness, When I first thought of this I thought there is no way blind people can play games and as far as I know there is no games that claim to allow blind people to play and enjoy them (if you know any could you let me know) Most games if not all require you to look at a screen and input controls to move your character/vehicle/object. So I guess it near to impossible to ever create games for blind people.
So what about deafness. There are alot of games which have subtitles, but im not sure if these are put in to allow deaf people to play or just to allow people to understand whats being said. But should the option be there for all games to have subtitles. Most consoles use DVD's and most DVD movies allow different subtitles in different languages so could the same apply to games?
What I want to know is your opinion on disabled gamers, and Is there a place in the market for them and if not then why not? Should developers do more to allow more diabled people to enjoy gaming as much as others?
I'd like to hear your views.
