Comments on: Games for everybody? While I agree that there should be a focus on accessibility in games, I'm strongly against government involvement. Legal issues would be yet another hurdle for small independent developers to jump, and they're already delaying game releases, sometimes for months, while trying to comply with console Q&A processes. Some indie developers do support colorblind modes (Phil Hassey, author of Galcon comes to mind), but it's often added as a patch after an initial release.
