left-handed left out in cold dark space

why oh why ...

Why oh why do game manufactures force left-handed folk to play right-handed? Windoze 7 is set for left-handed usage, how come y'all don't just let windoze control the bloody mouse orientation?

Sins looks like an amazing and complex game. IT IS MUCH HARDER FOR LEFT-HANDED PEOPLE, ENUF THAT I MIGHT JUST SAY GOODBYE.

Troll thread? Has to be troll thread. I mean, unless the OP is whining about the KEYS THAT CAN BE REBOUND TO SUIT YOUR NEEDS, I don't really know what they're whining about.

if you bothered to read the post before calling the op a troll, he was talking about mouse orientation, not key bindings.

Tyvm Pbhead, I knew one of my kindred spirts (those of us in our right mind) would know the trick!

Please inform Stardock that left-handed people are NOT a scourge but needed (apparently really needed by them that want to sell Sins of a Solar Empire). Really this should never be an issue. Fix it in your head: it's the same as discrimination.

I know you (stardock et al) didn't mean to discriminate. Perhaps you aren't old enough to realize hate exists in several levels and must be shoved back constantly.

Troll? Whoa, don't go all paranoid on me. There really can't be that many trolls that actually have something worthwhile to say. Pretty simple to reveal a troll: I'm not going to tell you.

Thanks again, Pbhead, I really appreciate it.

Once you start throwing around words like discriminate, you're definitely trolling. I'm left handed but I certainly don't feel discriminated against. You can stop being such a drama queen, now.
