You're absolutely right. This list is a conduit for game information and
discussion. Not just of a certain type of games, but all gaming that is
playable, whether through design or not, by blind gamers.
When I read the very first part of your message, I thought of the Dad who
buys an electric train set for his kid. He must check it out to be sure
that it works, right? So, there you would be, playing the game you got for
your son, and he's whining, "Come on, Dad! Let me try it! It's mine!" And
you're saying, "In a minute, son. I've got to make sure that it's right for
you." Two hours later, ellipsis,

Subject: Re: [Audyssey] psycho strike some observations
Desiree,
Agreed. The responsibility belongs with the parents not the developer.
When my son wants a video game I always do my best to check it out,
find out what kind of content is in it before deciding to purchase it
for him. I do not however blame the developer for having violence,
adult oriented sexual content, or any other objectionable content in
the game because I know it is my duty as a parent to decide weather or
not to purchase the game. Same goes with a game like Psycho Strike.
I don't blame VG Storm for making the game. I know my opinions of the
game are a personal opinion based on my own ethical sensibilities and
probably will not purchase the game for same. That doesn't mean I
don't think anyone else can play it and enjoy it, because I am not
that kind of person to shove my own thoughts and beliefs down
everyone's throat. I could, for instance, ban the game from this list,
but I wouldn't do that because I believe in people's right to free
speech and to play whatever games they personally feel comfortable
with within legal means.
Cheers!

Can I also point out that the irresponsible thing would be for a parent
to actually purchase this game for a minor? Because, let's be realistic
here. Lots of kids live this kind of life. They know what violence is.
And most children don't have the funds to buy a $25 game without some
outside help. The outside help would, in essence, be the negligent party
here, not the developers.
Furthermore, I like to imagine, although I'm sure it's inaccurate, that
this game is kind of a screw you to polite society and political
correctness.
