Not being aware != Not being smart
(Even though being aware can equal being smart)

this is what the guy said:

Stuff like the user who said "What's next...a fps game for the blind? Seriously though, what's wrong with subtitles?" shows the lack of awareness around. There are already FPS for the blind and as explained in the videos, for a lot of deaf people, sign language is their first language so English, even if provided in subtitles, is not always as helpful as expected.

look I can't imagine how its like being deaf and once again I didnt ment to offend deaf people but thats just life
sometimes a group of people gets offended by an other group... dont tell me nobody on this forum never did that
(doesnt make it right though!)
and I figured that the subtitles valve creates for their games are pretty good... it tells you all kinds of stuff like [Explosion] or stuff like that and thats something that cant be done with sign language dont you agree?
and btw excuse me im not aware about that stuff... I mean no hard feelings but why should I? im not deaf / blind thank god

and I really wonder how they make an fps for blind people... with sounds or something ?? I have no clue

There was a mod done entierly with sounds that I remember was an interesting experience, not action based though, that would be harder as you would probably need highly tuned sounds and of course touch. I think the mod was the blink monk somehtingerather.

It's fine Source. You didn't offend, I just wanted to show you as you already said that comments can be read by outsiders.

As for a blind game, I'd imagine forward could use a sound like 1 step, 2 step.
