Microsoft Hates Handicapped People

December 28, 2009 in Blog comments 10

A satirical and humorous look at what may actually be a real problem for some users of the Natal on the Xbox 360 that aren't completely able bodied. Motion controllers aren't ideal for most who are not so easily mobile.

This is so hypocritical for a company that shares it's initials with multiple sclerosis. At least Sony and Nintendo, while not being the ambassadors of accessibility in gaming, have been smart enough to keep their names and abbreviations away from any similarities to debilitating diseases and maladies. Bill Gates is quoted as saying "Life is not fair; get used to it." Apparently we all know who he was talking to when he said that. What a bastard.

    This article can't be serious. I've been spending the last ten minutes trying to figure it if this site is joking around or not.

    What an IDIOT.Like Msoft were going to sit around thinking "now we have to come up with a name that doesn't have the initials of something bad, wrong." Besides Microsoft is one word, everyoen just chooses to use MS as initials for Msoft.

      You just read the snippet, right? You didn't actually read the whole thing? Because if you did, and you still didn't get it... well... uhm... Fail.

    Some funny lines in there, I liked it. I heard Natal isn't that great at recognizing black people either - proper Aryans only at MS, huh.

    Sounds like something Krunal would write though, haha.

    Natal also boasts facial recognition, which for most people is great, but suppose you have no face? What then?
    I thought the article was somewhat serious till that point, lol.

    You can't please everyone sadly.

    How much you want to bet that Microsoft has already developed time-travel and sent someone back in time to 1497 to convince de Gama to name Natal as part of a 512 year old viral ad campaign? 10 bucks?
    FFS I love this guy.
