Re: Minecraft as a totally blind player.
To all of you who say "Oh MC will be accessible soon, stop being so negative." that's nice and all, but where's your evidence/research/reference that will hold up to any kind of scrootiny? all you're bringing here is a load of (partly misplaced) optimism. When Ray Kurzwail foretold that humanity will reach a technological singularity by 2050, he based his prognosis on current trends in computing, the progress of moore's law, and prommissing breakthroughs in research related to new ways of computing. I could do a similar thing to what you're doing right now. I could say "Aliens are going to land tomorrow and they'll uplift us to a new reality plane! yayayayayayayayayayayay!" Or "Screw you all, Every single game will be accessible next week because all the devs suddenly had a change of heart! Let us celebrate with food and wine a plenty!" But I wouldn't have anything to base that off of. Accessible Tlou2 and the ps5 are completely different things to what you're proposing now. Both the games and the console were designed/redesigned with a11y in mind from the very beginning. Minecraft wasn't. And as Ethin was so friendly to point out, at this stage it's going to take a rewrite, which no one is willing to do considering the costs involved. Naughty Dog didn't have to do a rewrite for Tlou2. Even Soni's UI redesign with a11y for the ps5 wasn't out of the ordinary. Soni redoes the UI for every new console generation so it was just normal procedure for them.
