For seven years, I've had the privilege of reporting on accessibility and the disabled perspective. And now, during my seventh Disability Pride Month in this industry, I'm left wondering if this beat is coming to an end. Read my first @skyboxcritics.com piece here: skyboxcritics.com/2026/07/28/t...

The vanishing art of disability reporting

As the games industry contracts, disability reporting is facing an extinction-level crisis.

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...

Layoffs Leave The Future Of Xbox’s Award-Winning Accessibility Efforts In Doubt

Former workers say Xbox cuts leave less resources and experts to make sure games are developed, labelled, and tested with accessibility in mind

Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced is the Black Flag I’ve wanted for 10+ years: remade with accessibility options like subtitle/caption controls, remapping, and blind navigation tools. Some clunk remains, but it’s a strong step forward. Full review: youtu.be/_cvjOQAz4Go

A YouTube thumbnail of Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced with the main character Edward Kenway wearing the Assassin's Creed outfit holds onto the ropes attached to his pirate ship while another pirate ship sails in the background. A photo of me pointing towards Kenway and I'm looking very excited. Text reads: I've waited 10+ years for this!

Despite companies continually laying off accessibility folks, I continue to see people still in those companies pushing for accessibility. Too many people know this matters now, that shared understanding cant be laid off.

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.

Ubisoft shared an accessibility spotlight for Monopoly: Star Wars Heroes vs. Villains. The classic board game with a twist from a galaxy far, far away achieves most of its accessibility by design, with customization where needed, like remapping controls. caniplaythat.com/2026/06/22/u...
