I’m looking for opinions on this article about accessible game development

No I was looking for accessible games and came across an article saying that all accessible games have to be done down to at least three or less controls anybody agree.
My opinion is definitely not.
I definitely agree with you. There are several games where I’m not sure about the number of controllers, but I know that they definitely have more than three. Just look at 3-D velocity, shades of doom, euro fly, I could go on and on.
What kind of disabilities are we talking about here? IF it's just blindness then no I don't agree, but if it's for those with moter impairments then I'd understand.
Here it is.
A guide to developing accessible games for the visually impaired.
Every day we use our phones, iPads, laptops, tablets, and all other devices. But have you ever thought about how blind people use their devices, well somebody always has to help them.
Our games are too advanced. so I made this guide to teach you how to make accessible games. first things first what’s your favorite game, how many controls does it have? does it have more than three? If so your game is inaccessible. Lots of app developers claim that their games are accessible , But you have to be careful. So before we start I am going to give you a list of these fake accessible games. Number one sonar islands
Number two audio game hub
Number three baby adopter magic
And there’s even more than that. I’ve never seen a truly accessible Game.
Here’s what we need to do to make all of our games accessible. Never at sound FX these noises might scare off blind people so we need to make our game very quiet we need to label all of our buttons and make sure you don’t have to make an account they might forget their pass code A game I’m working on is a game to teach blind people counting there is one question that is read by a gentle voice and then there are three answers here’s an example what comes after one The answers would be 23 and four I am so sorry about the bad spelling I am using dictate since it won’t let me copy I am just going back-and-forth between chrome and safari but here we go back to the article accessible games also need to be simple they only need to teach something no fun to be involved they do not understand fun hi it’s me again this person is so stupid I mean you should do some research on my rice mean am I right here is the rest I will stop interrupting now another thing that a game cannot have is an app purchases or anything relating money another thing a game cannot have is graphics that’s basically all his article said besides a bunch of other stuff I copyright
Once again I am very sorry about the long list and the bad spelling there you go if somebody could tell me how to like copy and paste that would be pretty cool thanks bye
When I was sighted, I could play any game. Now, not much. Most games are not challenging. Wish GMA would had made their games to the Mac. Windows had football, baseball games base on sounds. Hope someone would do those games before I leave this earth.
I'm not exactly sure how you'd do it on mac but on windows, you press alt d, to go to the address bar, control a, to select all of the address, then control c for copy, and control v for paste when you want to paste the link.
If this article is satire, ok, it's crap but whatever, if it's real then the person really needs to step back when it comes to writing because they're bad at it.
I tried research a bit of what you wrote and can't find the article, are you sure it's real? It sounds to out there honestly.
I think this goes for anyone and any game: If it can be played as simply as possible, but it's hard to master, this is the best kind of game. Period. It doesn't just have to be simple because of visual impairment. In my opinion, that's ableist thinking.
I am not able to copy the link yes it’s real but I had to use dictate dictate it into the text field that’s why the writing doesn’t look as good and I found it by searching up accessible game development and I’m using an iPad
I feel like some of it is right but also most of it is wrong such as labeling all your buttons that’s probably the only part of that article that’s accurate
If you go to the address bar, which should be near the bottom right if you've not changed anything in safari, you should be able to double tap on that, then find edit, in the rotor then swipe down to copy and double tap, to paste you'd find this form and once you're in the edit field you find edit using the rotor and flick down until you hear paste and double tap.
Thank you guys for responding so quickly
I’m going to clear some stuff up
This is about mobile games
As soon as I figure out how to paste stuff here I will
And the reason why the writing is so bad is because I had to use dictate
Thank you for reading

That depends.

Do you have the article link?
I do have the article but I do not know how to post links here s

If you can get a hold of a ps5 you could play a couple of games.
There's the last of us 1 and 2, and I think god of war ragnerock will be accessible, along with Mortal Kombat 11.
They're not many games; i'll give you that but it's what we've got.
There's audiogames.net too but that's mostly for windows, although you could ask for games on mack and see what they say.
Copying and pasting.

What did you type in to get this article?

Depends On the Game
I think this goes for anyone and any game: If it can be played as simply as possible, but it's hard to master, this is the best kind of game. Period. It doesn't just have to be simple because of visual impairment. In my opinion, that's ableist thinking.

I use an IPhone but it should work the same way.
If you go to the address bar, which should be near the bottom right if you've not changed anything in safari, you should be able to double tap on that, then find edit, in the rotor then swipe down to copy and double tap, to paste you'd find this form and once you're in the edit field you find edit using the rotor and flick down until you hear paste and double tap.

I will try that now
I completely forgot about the share sheet.
It just goes to show that the simplest way is usuallly the best.
I’m having trouble doing it.
Hi, so whenever I try to copy the link it’ll let me copy it, but it won’t let me paste it.
Does anyone know why this is happening?
