Games are for everyone yet not everyone can play the games they would like to play. Accessibility, easy modes and Sekiro Shadows Die Twice have been all over our feeds lately, and unfortunately, the conversation wasn’t always civil nor empathetic. Riffing off last week’s interview with accessibility advocate Steve Saylor, we dissect the conversation around difficulty settings in games, accessibility features and what it means to the industry and gamers everywhere. Plus, we react to the Star Wars Jedi: The Fallen Order trailer reveal.
