Abstract

This article describes the priorities for accessibility found in video game accessibility reviews. Through an analysis of 20 articles published by the accessibility review websites DAGERSystem.com and CanIPlayThat.com, this study categorizes the accessibility features in those articles in order to discover which accessibility features are the most important to reviewers, gauged by how many words are dedicated to addressing each feature. The study discovers 15 primary categories of accessibility most prominently features in these reviews. Word counts for each category provide a prioritized list of which accessibility features are the most central to video game accessibility. This article concludes by introducing the ground floor approach to video game accessibility, which calls for subtitles, difficulty settings, control options, and visual clarity as essential features in modern game design.

电子游戏无障碍化的底层方法：根据无障碍审查确定优先设计功能

本文介绍了在电子游戏无障碍评论中发现的无障碍优先事项。通过对无障碍评论网站 DAGERSystem.com 和 CanIPlayThat.com 发表的 20 篇文章进行分析，本研究对这些文章中的无障碍功能进行了分类，以发现哪些无障碍功能对评论者来说是最重要的，并以专门论述每个功能的字数来衡量。这项研究发现了这些评论中最突出的 15 个无障碍性主要类别。每个类别的字数都提供了一份优先级列表，列出了哪些无障碍功能对视频游戏无障碍化最为重要。本文最后介绍了视频游戏无障碍化的基本方法，即要求将字幕、难度设置、控制选项和视觉清晰度作为现代游戏设计的基本特征。
