    Wow that's pretty rude, it's not like developing an option for motion sick people would affect your game. I understand your point (I think) that a small handicapped minority shouldn't halt the progress (in this case the time developers put to the game) of non-handicapped people, but giving an optional static background wouldn't really be that much work and would improve the playing experience for some people.

    EDIT: I did a small search and learned that motion sickness in video games is surprisingly more common than I thought, so I would actually see SE implementing something like this.

    I agree it is totally rude. And if it would be my family member or loved one I would tell them to not play the game.
    Edit: sorry for the double post.

    No, I did not misunderstand your post.

    I deal with handicapped, TRUELY handicapped people every day, people who struggle making it to the grocery store, cannot drive a car, have to make sure the bus they plan to take is wheelchair accessible. These are ADLs they have trouble getting done, essential daily activities. So you are saying, someone is handicapped because they get sick while playing a video game. Really?

    So special snowflake here needs the game fixed to accomodate her, thats cool. They do it fine, they dont do it, does not really matter.

    I find it hard someone with such a venomous attitude works with the disabled on purpose. Is that it then? The OP's problem's aren't severe enough for you to offer an ounce of compassion? Your only suggestion is to quit playing.

    I imagine a kid who loved art losing both of his arms but, he's not giving up on it. Suddenly you burst through the door all high and mighty, not an impairment in the world, to tear up his latest attempt at what he loves, only to tell him to quit because he can't do it anymore. People do what they like to do. If something stands in their way they will try to find a way to keep doing it. It's human nature, so whatever you're trying to do (get the OP to quit? IDK) is not going to help. And your presence here serves no purpose but to impede everyone.

    If that is what you feel then why did you post to this thread at the first place just to be hostile and basically say "quit playing the game lol". Your posts and especially your choice of words make it seem like you are full of hatred and you have not contributed anything to this thread, if what you said above is truly what you feel then why did you post in this thread?
