Agreed. While there are 1 or 2 modern video games I'd love to play: The Price is Right for example, I long ago accepted the fact that today's video games are simply too visual. It doesn't matter how accessible the console is if playing the game is all but impossible without vision.

I don't imagine the demand for accessibility by the blind is very high in regards to gaming consoles. I guess they could make the menus accessible for netflix and stuff like that though. But then you would have to throw in all television makers for discrimination as well. Its just ignorants. Discrimination in my opinion rings of something deliberate.

Will any email or chat app have to be accessibly implemented on at least one platform?
