By Microsoft's standards, Starfield is a giant leap backwards for accessibility (www.eurogamer.net)

I'm enjoying Starfield so far, but when we're talking about having the right tools, the biggest problem a lot of players will face comes down to the limited accessibility settings the game comes with. This was a worry for the accessibility community during the buildup to Starfield's arrival, as gameplay trailers, interviews with Bethesda's Todd Howard and the general trickle of pre-release information failed to explore accessibility. Unfortunately, our accessibility worries were rooted in reality.

A number of comparisons were to Halo, which is a Microsoft game.

Correct me if i'm wrong, but it sounds like your argument is still "this is inline with other games so no one should care"?

If you check the author's history, they call out lots of games. This is clearly someone passionate about gaming that's trying to get things changed so they can enjoy them as much as anyone else. It sounds like you don't want that?
