Re: Outputting audio on ps4 from your tv to headphones
"you're probably wasting your time trying to contact devs about mainstream games, they don't care about accessibility."
This simply is not true. Often yes, it won't happen, but that's not because game developers are evil.. it's because it's not technically feasible to do so. Sometimes becaues of the mechanic, often because game engines simply are not compatible in any way with screenreaders, they just output a block of pixels, not anything that a screenreader can see, and that's not something that individual game studios have any control over whatsoever. You need to direct your frustration at the people who make the engines, not the people who make the games.
There's the skullgirls clipreader hack, but In the case of FTL, that wouldn't work. It's essentially real-time strategy, at any given time you need to be constantly aware of exactly where all of your crew members are and what they are doing, what their en ergy levels are etc, whilst moving them all around with pixel perfect precision. The basics of the game, the exploration, upgrading and decision making would all be suited to blind accessibility, but the combat would not.
It's not going to happen, which is a shame, as it is a really outstanding game.
