A poll of 500 adults with physical and mental disabilities who play video games found 81 per cent have struggled to play their favourite games due to inaccessible game features
Like, game reviewers have even started pointing out accessibility features specifically - a major release without them is kinda newsworthy.
Sure, indie games might not be complying, but the amount of indie games with no key rebinding or GFX settings is a problem too - those might not be catering to all able-bodied folks either.
I’m happy to give indies a pass because they generally don’t have the resources to know what accessibility settings people need, and they often don’t go through the major reviewers. I think people should absolutely point out those issues, but I really expect new releases to be fully accessible.
Don’t forget Nintendo titles being the most locked-down zero options games on the market. I played a Nintendo game for the first time in a decade recently and my god it felt so antequated. Couldn’t even change volume levels lol.
