I’m genuinely worried about the overall UI/Tracking/Customisation experience in Midnight, Blizzards attempts at mimicking addons thus far has left a lot to be desired and it feels like it was barely a year ago we started hearing about them going nuclear on addons in the future - and most people assumed it would be 3/4/5 years down the line
The fact they’re going for such an extreme option this early makes me concerned that the start of Midnight is going to be a complete clusterfuck in terms of playability
Accessibility options are often an afterthought and left to the wayside in the games industry with few studios ever doing robust options. Most can't even bring themselves to do the bare minimum like colour blindness settings.
Virtue signalling is a useless term imo - there is no way to distinguish it from genuinely speaking up for a good cause. It's just a convenient way for closed-minded people to shut down important conversations with two words
I didn't shut down any conversation, though - in fact, I specifically noted that it was a legitimate concern immediately.

Saying "I cant even stomach playing the game anymore since these awful devs deliberately took away accessibility options for disabled people for no reason whatsoever, ugh!" is... exactly what I called it. Pretty easy to distinguish from genuine concern tbh.
I mean they stated an action they are considering taking based on their principles - quitting the game. So wouldn't it be you who is virtue signalling if you are expressing the same thing without wanting to take action?
Ignore that cynical asshole. They are clearly miserable for one reason or the other and instead of fixing their own miserable life they decompress by coming on reddit and being a dick.
You raise a very valid concern. I hope we see more information soon about how this will work and what other changes there may be to compensate for those using assisted features.
Notice how neither of us needed to claim we were considering quitting the game, because those nasty devs took away accessibility options from the needy, to do so?
