Your ableism isn't welcome here. But thanks for the free bumping of this post back into relevancy. Believe it or not, disabled players are also people, and we should be able to have fun and play games with friends too, not just willfully ignorant and rude players like you.
but damn, people prone to seziures and other medical conditions cant find enjoyment in a video game that is safe for them tho, huh? disabled people shouldn't try to have fun at all because of the way we are then? if your going to keep going on like this then please dont keep commenting on the post and shut up. your just digging a bigger hole for yourself more and more you post and ignore what we say every single time. if your trolling then maybe dont
Right, so people with allergies should never eat out at a restaurant? People with epilepsy should never watch movies or play games? People who have difficulty walking should spend the rest of their life in a chair or bed? People with a light sensitivity should keep their eyes closed at all times? People with communication difficulties should never try to communicate?
You're basically saying, that people with difficulties should just give up. Like others have said though, there are OPTIONAL things that can be included in a game to make it playable for people with difficulties. Options that you can completely ignore if you want to, it wont make any difference to you at all. But, it will allow soooo many other people to be able to play the game. Why is this such an issue for you?
I think everyone here does have a life, and they're using it to try and improve it for themselves and other people. Don't see anything wrong with that. I don't think people here are looking for acknowledgement from you either, everyone is just fed up of you not understanding what people here are asking for.
The whole peanuts in a restaurant example was so far off the mark, that people are trying to figure out why you don't understand.
Is a reply to the request for options to help reduce seizures:
What is being asked for are options to turn off flashing lights, which cause seizures. I don't know if you know this, but some people who suffer seizures, can actually play games if given the option to turn off flashing lights, or adjust light brightness.
What your comment was implying is that people are asking for the game to be changed for everyone, for flashing lights and light brightness to be reduced for everyone. But that is not the case, what people are asking for, is the OPTION to turn that off. So that people who suffer seizures can turn it off and play. People that don't suffer seizures, can leave it on, and play. This is what people are getting annoyed about.
im giggling at how much you keep digging a bigger hole for urself. your entitlement is showing because this has been an issue since closed and open beta started. again, if your going to keep going in a circle and keep making yourself look stupid, you should just stop entirely right now before it gets even worse.
Quick question... if you only respond to things you agree with, then why are you in this thread at all? You've said nothing that agrees with anything here.
"I'm not opposed to anything. It's all in your imagination" said the gaslighting guy who started all this by making this kind of comparison, as if asking for anything accessibility-related is more of a bad thing than good: https://steamcommunity.com/app/2707930/discussions/0/4042608198325182537/#c6208841617677398899
Genre-compatibility is a large part of what determines what to expect from a game. For instance, I would say that because a game like Dead By Daylight needs a warning for graphic violence and photosensitivity (seizures/migraines) during play, therefore trailers for the game should not even be played with content that isn't of a similar genre, such as mainline Pokemon Let's Plays, Hokko Life, PotionCraft, etc. Similarly, a game whose developers claim an intent to be cozy and relaxing should not require leaps of faith and parkour to complete what seems to be a main story event. By expanding the game mechanics of the Tower to main story questline, I can only think that they're attempting to retain the attention span of the "play until i win" crowd rather than the "play because it's cozy" crowd; which is, I suppose, a valid choice for any game outside the cozy genre.
Cozy genre games are at the forefront of the discussion about accessibility in video games because cozy games are the ones that are most accessible to neurodivergent players. I know very few autistic people who enjoy Call of Duty, Valorant, or Fortnite, for instance, and although rhythm platforming is one of the most soothing ways to play a platformer (unless you have time blindness from something like ADHD), having the entire screen flash and invert colors like Geometry Dash causes quick overstimulation even when watching other people play. But nearly everyone *can* play games like Animal Crossing and most gamemodes of Minecraft - there's even a Minecraft server especially for Blind and Low Vision players, which is something I wasn't quite expecting.
Anyone can come across as entitled, especially when the question of accessibility is phrased as "You need to add this so I can play" instead of "You probably should add this so X number of people can play" but for most of those of us who are disabled, we know that we are the vocal minority... Most disabled people are too tired to bother requesting for accessibility in an optional stress reliever because of how the fight for accessibility in the workplace and public areas like grocery stores is neverending...
And it really is frustrating to have to continually say, "Can you please please please please please include me among the people you design games for?" Constantly begging and licking peoples shoes doesn't get you as far as acting like a Karen, after all. There's a reason entitled behavior continues - it's the most consistently successful approach.
Anyway, basically what I'm saying here is, although they marketed as a cozy game, and there's no PVE or PVP, I'm not sure their heart is really into making a cozy, accessible MMO, and I wouldn't be surprised to see further expansions of the game become even less friendly to their original market audience.
I mean, you're right, i was just skimming because I didn't come to this thread to read spam, but go off with your personal attacks i guess.
Okay, so the thing you are ... acting like ... you don't know then is how seizures work and the consequences of them. So. Quick primer: everyone reacts differently. Some people get migraines from flashing lights. Some people get annoying tic in their eyebrow. Very few people go into convulsions, and no, most of them do not die from convulsions. Those people also do not typically play video games, which sucks because video games are fun and everyone should be able to enjoy them.
You are FULLY CORRECT that it is something of an accurate comparison to allergies; some people can eat peanut butter and have only a stomachache, and other people's eyes swell shut if they walk too close to fresh peanut butter cookies. Luckily, most people will not die from peanut exposure, those who might do typically carry an epi-pen and have 911 on quickdial, AND most restaurants have things other than peanut food on the menu; as well as the capability and willingness to prepare a meal with extra care to avoid contamination.
The reason restaurants do this is that it increases the amount of people who can come buy food from their facility. It increases their profit. You're right, it's a good comparison. There are things that the video game companies could be doing to make their games more accessible to potential patrons.
There should be UI scaling options no matter what device is used to play at the very least!
I've given up interacting with them, they don't listen every time someone tries to explain things, they are set in their views, and obviously won't change them. They must be one of those lucky people with no medical issues, can make them very ignorant.
To each their own ignorance. 😂
