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.

In October last year I was fired by Rockstar Games in what we believe was a union busting move. We lost our home. We lost 2 jobs with my partner being forced to resign. We lost a community. Most importantly however we had to leave our two dogs behind, one of which will never return.

Back in October, Rockstar Games fired 34 employees for alleged gross misconduct. The severity of these firings could have spelled the end for a burgeoning union effort that was underway, but it didn't. In fact, the union is now *bigger* than it's ever been before. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ym4z...

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

While I'm gushing about Denshattack! I will also say that their posts on Steam for things like Accessibility and interviews with the Japanese VA's are some of the small, but best things I see in game advertising. Seriously, it shows a passion and love that's so special! #DENSHATTACK

Starmer's government was more viciously queerphobic than the Tories ever were. From making the puberty blocker ban permanent on day 1, to the transphobic schools guidance, to the conversion therapy protection bill, and all topped off by the EHRC's Segregationist Charter. That is his legacy.

Starmer says he's proud to leave the UK in a better state than he found it. Trans people weren't banned from public toilets before he took power. I guess some see that as an improvement.

Last friday, developer Undercoders shared accessibility details of Denshattack! ahead of the tricky train flipping game's launch this week. While much of the game's accessibility is by design, some settings allow for further customization where needed. caniplaythat.com/2026/07/13/d...

The eventual outcome of a Tory PM supporting gender self-ID in 2017 is a Labour government in 2026 enthusiastically presiding over the introduction of the most transphobic legal framework in the western world - without any debate or vote in Parliament For Labour, a moral stain worse than Section 28

Nadia Whittome MP@nadiawhittomemp.bsky.social · 4w ago

Despite more than 1 in 4 MPs signing my motion against the Code, it is due to come into force without any debate or vote in Parliament. I have written to the Minister for Women and Equalities urging her to withdraw it now. 2/2

I am a firm believer that accessibility cannot die. Tides may rise and fall, but accessibility is inevitable. Players know it, most businesses know it. The future is accessible. Let’s support each other during this time. Remember how far we’ve come, and how much further we will inevitably go 🫂♥️

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.
