    The thing is, implementing controller functionality alone is a big step in accessibility for disabled people since most accessibility controllers make use of controller controls. There’s pretty much no reason not to support game controllers on your game, so there’s that.

      yeah, microsoft has the accessible xbox controller which can be made to work with most modern systems with a little tinkering. not sure whether this counts as an unpopular opinion or just ableism tbh

      For real.

      So many accessibility controls have already become used by everyone.

      I always customise my inputs or even adjust the luminosity and contrast when it’s available.

      These are also part of accessibility.

      I don’t understand why people would want to do away with things that benefit everyone in the long run.

      People forget that we don’t remain healthy and in perfect health forever.
