Tough but important read. Though accessibility is the responsibility of everyone, without meaningful dedication, things will inevitably fall apart. Grant outlines the new risks introduced by recent Xbox a11y layoffs well here. We need accessibility standards, testing, design reviews and workshops.

With layoffs at Xbox, sources indicate accessibility efforts have also been affected. What was once a champion of accessibility is now a shell of its former self, unsure if accessibility even has a place at the new Xbox. Read my first report for @aftermath.site here: aftermath.site/xbox-layoffs...

God, it looks like a LOT of Accessibility specialists were hit by today's layoffs at Xbox, inclusing some of their most senior accessibility folks. This feels like a REALLY bad sign for accessibility at Xbox going forward. A huge amount of skilled talent being thrown out as part of this "shake up".

It has been a really rough day and I appreciate the outpouring of support from everyone. The amazing @stevesaylor.net once said something like "every company should have an Elisabeth," and now is your company's chance! I'm on the job market after layoffs and looking for my next role.

Yay! AGI Accessibility Tags are now on some of our ea.com buy pages — more to come later. Long in the making and I am happy this will help our players make better informed purchasing decisions. For deeper details of how our games are accessible, always visit ea.com/accessibility ♿️✨

Wait what @momoxmia.bsky.social there are AGI tags on the EA site?

Reconozco que la coincidencia me ha hecho gracia

No diga “la crisis de la vivienda”, diga “la codicia de un puñado de cabrones”. Ejemplo de titular reciente bellamente reescrito: “La codicia de un puñado de cabrones eleva el hacinamiento a niveles récord”.

Bueno, pues allévamos

Just how awesome is it that we see both PC specs AND accessibility settings on the same post? <3

007 First Light PC specs update detailed

Sure, the game looks impressive. But I can't help but watching this clip and thinking "oh wow, those are going to be some inaccessible controls". And then it gets EVEN WORSE

you probably never stopped to consider that some ABBA instrumentals work perfectly as a Castlevania soundtrack.

Day 1 of GAConf Europe underway now! Schedule here: www.gaconf.com/schedule/ Youtube live stream here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=7woT... You can find the invite and zoom link on the website too, which features more accessibility options.

I am loving this!

Hoy vuelve Biotopía. Realmente nunca se ha ido, porque es una historia que lleva acompañándome desde que hace seis años empecé a imaginar la vida y aventuras de esta comunidad científica, pero tras más de mil días de pausa regresamos por fin con su tercera y última temporada.

Pues hoy fui a ver la peli de Super Mario Galaxy. ¿Os creeríais que había una familia que le cambió el pañal al bebé en plena sala? Con lo que me gusta ir al cine, con lo caro que está, hay que joderse que PARA UNA VEZ QUE VOY

BIEN

Vale, vosotres ganáis. Me compraré el Pokopia.

Late-gen price rising for a games console is already unacceptable, but I have the feeling the long-term plan is to have them reveal the next generation of consoles to an absolutely prohibitive price that you wouldn't otherwise accept, just because it may rise later. FOMOngering at its finest.

¿Os acordáis de cuando las consolas bajaban de precio con los años, en lugar de subir? Qué buenos tiempos, jaja.

Crimson Desert - statement on usage of AI

I made this image as a joke but my friends said that it was (mostly) reasonable enough to be taken seriously. So: Indie devs, what does your game need to do for you to see it as a success? Note: except for the top tiers, most of the games shown do not relate to their tier. #indie #gamedev

Per @ianhamilton.bsky.social — there is a talk that promotes using WCAG for game accessibility. This is an incredibly dangerous sentiment. Those guidelines are not created with video games in mind and are instead oriented to solve web accessibility solutions. Saying otherwise is misinformation.
