Hi Niko, First, I'd just like to point out that Phil's message was just a joke. Second, the purpose of my initial email was to find out what the target audience wants to play. As it happens the target market isn't sighted teens or young adults, but blind gamers of any age. Third, you clearly mentioned you are ateen. As such your opinion is important because it announces to me what teens are interrested in today, but it doesn't speak for those of us who are in an older age group. Keep in mind your teen friends might considder me an old fart, because I am 30 years old anhd grew up playing Packman, Galaxian, Mario Brothers, Double Dragon, long before all this Grand Theft Audo, Resident Evil, etc games existed or was even imagined. Since I am older than you and have different values and ideas about games should be I don't have any interest in games that deal with gang warfare, oor committing crimes like selling drugs, raping people, or robbing people, etc. Bottom line I want to have games that has some reasonable values, and I can't take pleasure in a game where you joina gang and carry out gang related stuff. There is nothing good or clean about it. A game like Monkey Business apeals to me for exactly the reason it is clean entertainment and I don't have to do anything in the game that goes against my own personal values and beliefs. Forth, this is clearly my own personal view, but as I get older I have to wonder what society is teaching our children through tv, radio, and games. No a gamer playing Grand Theft Audo might not go out and do it, but it does say something about your conscience. If you can actively do it in a game then in a ssilent way you are saying doing those things is ok.
