    In my eyes, yes, games are supposed to be fun for MOST people. It’s… like… the whole point of it being an entertainment product…

      Eh, fun isn’t the only thing people want from entertainment but even if that were always true there isn’t any reason niche games shouldn’t exist. Who am I to tell someone what kind of game they should play. Lots of games out there that I won’t play because I know it’s not for me - sometimes that sucks cause I like the art or the concept and wish the mechanics were what I want but they aren’t and I move on.

      Catering to “most” also results in games that tend to be homogeneous in some way and that sucks for those that want niche. Also sucks when niche exists and gets ruined to appeal to “most” but that’s just how it goes.

        Sometimes I wonder if I just don’t know how to properly type in English or if people really do have a hard time reading.

        No one is telling anybody what to do. It’s a fucking OPTION that a player can TOGGLE to make the game more accessible TO THEM.

        Gatekeeping games is simply a dumbass thing to think and do. So fucking weird.

          Deep breaths, it’s gonna be OK. You are saying that all games should include a toggle/slider. I don’t agree. Devs should make games they want to make and I’ll play them if they appeal to me and you should too. But don’t get bent when they don’t have a feature you want.

            Ugh. You people just don’t get it. You’re essentially saying that people who can’t physically interact with the game like you and I can are just shit out of luck. It’s literally not about me in anyway whatsoever. I can play them just fine.

            I love video games, and I just think that they should be accessible to everyone. Whether that be a difficulty slider or just some accessibility options for those who need them. I want everyone to be able to play some of the games I love, so that I can have more people to talk about it with.

            Thats the difference between me and most of the other people like you here in these comments. I’m not asking for them for me, I don’t need them. I’m asking them for people who would love to be able to play some of these big franchises but physically can’t.

            Again, gatekeeping is such a fucking weird thing to do.

              It’s not gate keeping, and the demand is unreasonable. Not all modes of transportation require accommodation for everyone. A paraplegic is not riding a motorcycle. That’s not a dig at them. And despite your frustration it doesn’t make your opinion more valid than a developer’s.

                EDIT: Oh WAIT! I just realized I didn’t say anything about your motorcycle example. Get this. They have an attachment, a side car, that can go on the side of motorcycles that can allow a passenger. This passenger can be paraplegic! Amazing!

                Ah yes. So unreasonable. I guess all the others games that include those kind of options just don’t exist!

                    Awh. You’re cute. It’s okay, you’re just a shitty person who doesn’t want people to have nice things. I hope it gets better for you, sweetheart.

                  A sidecar passenger will never get the experience of being in control of a supersport. The experience is not the same. They will never be the same.

          And that option being present would literally compromise the artistic vision of basically an entire genre of games
