This is certainly turning into quite the thread Rob 😀

I think we have started to get into some detail as to peoples personal opinions applied back and forth to other members responses. I have read through and been interested in all of the responses that have been posted and am looking forward to even more.

Could I ask a clarifying question of those taking part?

What do you mean by games being inaccessible?

I would love to read your viewpoint in a concise definition or meaning from each persons perspective.

We are all being very civil which is super cool and I can feel the passion in a lot of the posts words but have to admit for a lot of you I have little to no idea what you mean by inaccessible. I stated earlier this word doesn’t really fit my thoughts on whats being spoken about and having read this thread feel that’s even more true now.

Many have agreed and applied it to other game systems and genres, some have stated that they themselves may not be interested in making a game accessible to others, especially if they don’t have the same gaming ethos. Having read through all this and the great points and counter points that have been made, in my mind its not that the genres are inaccessible at all, in fact quite the opposite but that the people playing them are often incompatible.

I think this word better describes what a lot of people have been posting.

Great post guys and if this all ends up in a war of words I blame CommodoreRob, I point boldly at him and and in my best inner child 7 year old snitch voice shout at mummy and daddy (Warren and Justin) He started it!
