"That is something the Journos are pushing to make it seem like their calls for easier games are actually to help disabled people."

Fuck off, I am a disabled person and I agree "DA JOURNOOOOEEEEEZ." Take your sexist, hardcore, "I need to stroke me e-peen" dickish attitude and shove it, I'm so fucking SICK of your paranoia and conspiracy theories. Easy mode is for people like me whose hands don't fully work. Fuck the hell off, you absolute fucking wanker.

I'll level with you, I don't believe this is sincere, but on the off chance:

Might I suggest that certain games are not for you? Not because of your disability but because you are not of the level where you can overcome? There is no shame in that, there is no insult intended, it's just a fact. Rhythm games are not for me, as being white leaves me with the crippling lack of rhythm.

Don't get me wrong, this is amazing, but how does that prove anything? That's one single person, not every gamer who happens to be disabled.

It disproves the idea that games need to lower the skill threshold to let people play

If you care about something, you can do it. If you don't care to put in the effort this chap did - And I really don't blame you, I may never be that skillful - the solution, I think, is to walk away and not fuss about it. Not to demand that you shouldn't have tp put in the effort in a game that is all about, almost exclusivly about gaining reward from effort.

Sorry, but all this video proved is that THAT particular guy could do it. Not that anyone, even those with the same or "lesser" disabilities, can do it if they just care enough and put in enough effort.

I was going to write more, but checking the rest of the thread I get the feeling we wouldn't really get anywhere, so... agree to disagree?
