Left-Handed Gamers Getting Left Behind?
An anonymous reader writes "As the stylus becomes a contemporary equal with the controller and joystick, it is a bit surprising to notice a game developer overlooking the simple fact that there are a lot of southpaw gamers out there. But the creators of Base 10, a mini-game on the DSi, did just that, making it impossible for the game to be played by anyone who isn't right-handed. Seems pretty silly for a game developer to just cut out a slice of their potential audience right from the start."

Being off-handed is one thing. You are what is referred to as being "all thumbs".
Left handed, all thumbs, and I have terribly flat feet. Thank god survival of the fittest doesn't apply to humans anymore.
Yeah, no shit. They're almost as bad as the Democrats these days!

Yeah, we have the right to play games the way we want. It's a corollary to our right to pay nothing for them, and our right to force developers to continue making them even in the absence of reward.
