Re: CVAA Accessibility Rules Now In Effect
JaceK:
Ah, shame you aren't local. Which country are you in? But no, I'm not going to personally pay all of your expenses to go the USA.
neither you, nor I are there day to day. We do not know what goes on, and what does not go on, in boardroom meetings, in legal meetings with company lawyers, in supplier meetings, et cetera
I've been in those meetings.
It's accessibility or fine
Developers are only required to implement whatever falls within reasonable expense. FCC is not patrolling around looking for people to find, there's a consumer portal that allowed issues to be raised, that kicks off a mediation process to work on getting the issue fixed.
Now we can both speculate till March
I am not speculating. I am telling you as fact that there are companies who are taking CVAA into account. I'm not going to give any more information than that for obvious reasons; you've already explained that you understand NDAs. But the idea that all the big companies are just ignoring it is factually incorrect. No speculation, no assumption, factually incorrect.
You do not have to just take my word for it. You can already see that for yourself. DICE, Creative Assembly and Playground (under the banners of Electronics Arts and Microsoft Studios) already started implementing CVAA functionality ahead of the deadline in Battlefield 5, Halo Wars 2 and Forza Horizon 4.
To you both, skepticism is 100% understandable and reasonable. Saying you'll believe it when you see it is 100% understandable and reasonable. But flatly denying facts is not.
I'm sorry you take my concerns and criticism as 'hating'
Both in this thread and other threads the posts by yourself and ethin - much more so Ethin than yourself, to be fair - add up to a picture of developers being a bunch of scumbags who will do anything they can to wheedle their way out of thinking about accessibility, and that even if they did make an effort that effort would be doomed to fail.
That is not a productive thing for developers who have a burgeoning interest in accessibility to read.
I am not suggesting you dance around with banners proclaiming that everything is wonderful. I am suggesting that your stock response to any news about potential progress should be "lets just wait and see how it pans out" rather than "I know for a fact that will never happen". Just for a few months. That shouldn't be too much to ask. Can you please do that?
