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.
