EA games with command and conquer and now this. The world surely is coming to an end.
As problematic as AAA publishers can be, their steps towards spreading accessibility within the industry as a whole are always nice to see and worth sharing, I think. Did anyone besides Ubi and EA did something like that?
Microsoft/Xbox has been pretty good on the hardware side with their Xbox Adaptive Controller
My only beef with Microsoft and Xbox is that they're not willing to open up these systems to any sort of macros or even complex rebinding.
Right, forgot about that since I focused purely on software side of things. Good reminder!
The input emulation system in Steam is also heavily affected by accessibility needs. A part of the system that isn't really seen or talked about is how it is used for many non-standard input devices made for people with physical disabilities.
Newell (himself, afaik not within Valve) is also currently researching BCIs, with making devices for disabled people the biggest thing those are being used for currently.
I heard about the latter but never really thought about Steam Input like this, goes to show how easy it is to completely miss such stuff when you don't need it. Also, in case someone's confused BCI stands for Brain-Computer Interfaces.
I mean it being to try and redirect some bad pr on their part shouldn't give them bonus points but its great that the tool has been released for sure.
I don't think news about a single tool for developers is some kind of ploy to improve their PR - most people won't even hear about it. It's just a neat piece of news since Ubisoft has been pretty good about accessibility in their games for years now.
Giving props when deserved doesn't mean you have to forgive and forget all the bad surrounding the company.
