Precisely. Once they reach the dungeon, they’ve already passed all the really nice stuff anyway. Besides, at this point it’s easier to just hack my accounts the old-fashioned way.

It’s funny because it’s true.

I put mine on a Post-It on my monitor with my other passwords

How? I can talk to strangers on a phone at home.

I mean, I technically could, but that’s my personal version of hell. But, like, somebody else could.

It shouldn’t be like calling the police.

I legally pay for both of those, so I’ll help subsidize it for others.

Where can I see it?

I didn’t watch Beekeeper in a theatre it because I didn’t know if it was gonna be just a cheap cash grab.

I watched it via a paid service and enjoyed it very much with my wife in the home theatre I built.

Why?

You can’t see the C one because it went by too quickly.

Or they could have thought it out even better and included difficulty settings.

They have every right to ignore accessibility, but it will always limit their audience.

That’s why you design for accessibility, and don’t try to cram it in at the last moment. It’s not actually difficult, it just requires engineering discipline.

There are also plenty of Dark Souls clones for people like you who demand nothing but punishment.

That sounds like an entirely surmountable engineering problem.

It’s not like games are being written in assembly any more.

The point I’m making is that you need not alter the painting. Adding an option to a game does not alter it for those that do not select it.

You’re arguing for letting perfect be the enemy of good. The fact that a blind person can’t perceive the visual aspect of an experience doesn’t mean that they should be excluded entirely.

Adding an easy or “story” mode to a game doesn’t inherently make it worse. You can still play it with difficulty cranked up to “Dark Souls” or whatever. The fact that there is a separate mode that others can use does not affect you; you need not use it yourself.

“Story mode” is actually an accessibility option in disguise: it can let people who have difficulty with fine motor control, reaction times, or understanding visual and auditory prompts to enjoy the art alongside everyone else. Instead of cheapening the game, it actually expands its influence on the world.

All that being said, no, no game is strictly obligated to be accessible, but why cheapen your art by not making it so?

Only one of those is adjacent to the reason why I keep mine by the door.

They’re already more or less effective.

I mean that I have a cabinet full of popcorn kernels at home

We should pop more often

You’re way underestimating the BOM and engineering costs, and also eating directly into the shareholder value, communist.
