Reminder that a game can still be challenging, rewarding, AND accessible. Accessibility never has and never will compromise gameplay, so long as you do it right. Making a game accessible AND fun is the difference between any designer vs. a great designer.

Alright here it is… we shouldn’t put “accessibility” things in games just because competitors did it. Approaching accessibility by doing whatever competitors did is missing the goal: 1. It might not be right for that game. 2. It might not actually have been the right approach to begin with.
