A lawsuit filed in October claims that Sony's online games—ranging from Everquest and Star Wars Galaxies to Wheel of Fortune—do not provide tools to allow visually impaired users to successfully play the games, and thus violate both the federal Americans with Disabilities Act and California's civil rights law. Stern v. Sony Corp. of America, 09-cv-o7710 (C.D. Cal. Oct. 23, 2009).
The plaintiff and his attorney share the same last name, so the claim may have been filed to get the attention of Sony, which allegedly ignored the plaintiff's repeated efforts to contact the company about this issue.
But legally, does this lawsuit make a valid claim?
