@mattMatt Campbell this is really the only thing I am looking for from the accessibility community more broadly: accessibility has big costs! It also has big benefits but we are so used to criticizing billion-dollar corporations who are saving like 0.01% on their gross margins by being shit at accessibility that we use the same language to confront people whose entire budget (in time, money, or both) would be immediately destroyed by even a cursory accessibility effort
@glyph Yes, when it comes to visual media in particular, I'm aware that, for example, when I watch a movie that has an audio description track, the only reason we're able to enjoy that is because the likes of Disney can easily afford that extra work. The same goes for accessibility in video games; the big studios can afford to put extra work into accessibility, but indie developers often can't, depending on the kind of game.
