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."

    Lefties have a tendency to believe they're being discriminated against when they're really just occasionally not taken into consideration on accident.

    Wow, that sounds like most people who don't get what they want anymore...

    What do you mean, anymore? Republicans have always been like that. "Oh, poor me, I'm an old white man who has slightly less privilege than I did back in the good old days." Cry me a river.

    Niggers make up about %10 or less of the population. If taking niggers into account costs more than the 10% revenue you'll lose without taking them into account, it ain't worth it.

    Generally speaking, if it's a small operation producing a low volume game, it just isn't worth the trouble.

    There you go.
