They are not in violation, because of what is called high risk
insurance. That is what all blind are labeled. So if that store
determines you a high risk in moving around in there store. Then they
don't have to tell you anything except leave. You need to read that
ADA crap better, because it really wasn't written for those with
disabilities but for those without.

Bryan,
I don't want to get too far afield, but a store refusing to help you shop is
in direct violation of the ADA. I'm not saying that a lawsuit is the best or
even a good option, but I can understand their anger.
As for games, the sighted public has just as much of an entitlement complex.
We just don't see it because we're not in the thick of it. Try logging onto
any torrent site, though, and see what you find there. I guarantee you'll be
amazed--or maybe you won't.

Quite frankly this entitlement view is why I don't have much respect for
many blind folks in general, and it's not ust to do with games. I get so mad
when I hear people talk about ow they won't participate in an activity
unless there's a discount because of blindness. THese are often the same
people who'll threaten to sue a store employee if they refuse to help them
shop regardless of the reasons for that refusal.
But thou must!
