Game accessibility quotes of 2019
January 3, 2020 | 0 Comments
2019 was a year of huge change in the accessibility field, with progress across every corner of the industry – post on that coming soon. But public discourse was dominated by just a few topics – text size, difficulty options (and off the back of that how accessibility relates to creative vision), and subtitling.
Below are a few things gamers and developers have said over the year that stood out for me, covering those topics but also some others too. It’s a long page, but an easy read. Some of these quotes are inspiring, some are thought provoking, some have practical advice – and some are a wake-up call.
It’s also a handy list of awesome people to follow on twitter!
