thank you for this important discussion! i’m disabled, but i luckily am able to play games with no barriers, so it’s easy to forget how important these things are for peoples’ gaming experiences! i hope we keep seeing massive improvements that make gaming accessible to as many people as possible.
There needs to be an accessibility controller that is compatible with both PS5 and PS4 for people with disabilities that cannot use an regular controller
A really important topic, but it's really a pity a video on accessibility is lacking proper captions. 😞
No captions but made sure she announced her pronouns.
It has captions now so I guess they were just delayed?
@@azalago Ah, that's really nice to see then. I appreciate that. 🙂
They're still making games where you can't increase the text size. That's not accessible, but such a simple fix.
Ps5 can’t even let you transfer local saves to usb. Fark me , what a future we are living in.
What a great interview! Quite a meaty length as well, important discussions require ample time to get down in dust of it all and clear a way forward toward positive innovations for everyone, everywhere! ❤
An awesome guest and interviewer! I look forward to later episodes!
Woo go Steve! That was great, thank you for all that you do :) And thank you for Playstation for investing time and resources into this.
Bring Driveclub back! Best looking racing game to this date
really appreciate how this video was made and how it's inclusive for everyone. the accessibility topic is great, the introductions are great. This is what we need for the future of the gaming community, making everyone feel included.
Do you think gaming would expand its influence to schools and business in future? Will it impact our world for centuries to come?
@@asianprince8718 It has already impacted our world greatly and expanded to schools. Schools now have their own competitive gaming teams.
I hope PSVR2 keeps accessibility in mind.
these comments are actually unreal. the fact that people freak out over someone just stating their pronouns, as if we don’t use pronouns every single day. looks like people are ‘triggered’ as they say themselves…
It's very difficult if we omit pronouns in communication. We have to use names instead.
Shove your pronouns
@@spacecobra3101 ok then, i guess your language is going to be very limited then. better not refer to objects as ‘it’ or your mother as ‘she’!
I'm blind, deaf, and have no hands. How can I play?
imagine
read braille with your feet
the same way that you typed out this comment
@@PodsofWar someone typed it for him
These poor souls vary in size and shape so i wonder how gaming in general can facilitate their hand comfort
So nice sharing 17:50&👍🎼👏
Great to see you Steve, keep up your awesome work!

What work?
@@cult-of-carl His work of advocating for accessibility in games! 😊
Friends
I don’t understand the she/her he/him parentheticals. If you’re hearing impaired you can tell if it’s a guy or a girl just by looking at them, and if you’re vision impaired you wouldn’t be able to read the parentheticals anyway. Not sure what that has to do with accessibility.
well said
It’s not? It’s just about being inclusive and normalizing stating your pronouns? It’s strange that simply stating pronouns are so triggering to some.
But you would be assuming their pronouns if you're just going by looks. Why are people bothered by something so benign as stating pronouns?
@@lilumi normal people do not state their pronouns 🤡
@@thegreatODEN1 when we guess a person's pronouns (aka gender) based on their appearance, 99.999999% of the time we are correct.
Imagine downvoting a video interview about accessibility
It's because they stated their pronouns
Imagine being a complete government tool, completely unaware of becoming sissified
@@legendaryskinman7305 lol you are literally a child
@@legendaryskinman7305 Imagine being an adult and worrying about the government "sissifying" you.
@@legendaryskinman7305 do you not see the irony in using the word “sissified”?
sony need make a adapters for Xbox controllers on ps5 specialty ps5 games most of handicaps cant play ps5 games because sony lock Xbox controllers that aint right for alot peoples and playing game should be for every one
"My pronouns are she/her" Umm yes, we can see that. You're a woman...
I had to rewind that to see did I hear that right.
"My pronouns are"
STOP!
Me gustan las cosas de video juegos los mejores playstation
This is so cool
6.5k views.. 250 likes... 🤣🤣🤣 someone post the dislike total please.. my pronouns are NUCLEAR MAGA
Narcissistic entitlement: "why isn't this hobby all about me".
0:27 - switched to another video after hearing this.
Same
same i have the video paused don't know if i should continue
So do you just get up and walk out of a room if someone uses pronouns?
@@thegreatODEN1 You're comparing the passive experience of watching video to the active experience of being engaged in an irl conversation. When you're are watching a video you don't have to care about people's feelings as they aren't there with you. In a face to face conversation there is much more to take into account. Apples to Oranges.
girl grow up
Could we have this video be about accessibility instead of pronouns, please? Accessibility is a very important topic for many gamers, so thanks for working on it. But honestly, nobody cares if you acknowledge the fact that nature assigned you a gender. Stay on topic.
I don't understand why it upsets you so much that they stayed their pronouns at the beginning of the video. It doesn't harm you in any way. The topic for the video was entirely accessibility. If it's really that triggering for you just skip the beginning of the video.
That's like 30 seconds of that of a 20 minutes video, tf is your problem? You tried to hide your opinion on "Stay on topic" but maybe you should just said that you didn't like that, nobody cares either way
Thanks for telling me your pronouns. So brave and courageous! I would never figure it out on my own.
It's not just for you.
Video game PS4 & Ps5
You guys should stop with the pronouns bs
Get woke no go broke sony
What?
If you keep doing this sony I'm buying an Xbox
Sorry but I'm confused. What happened?
@@asianprince8718 wokeness
@@asianprince8718 you are the problem with America, get educated on what's happening
@@MichaelM28 You mean diversity and inclusivity for gamers with disabilities is "wokeness"?
@@thegreatODEN1 no, I'm obviously referring to the pronoun stuff.
PS5 is an ultimate machine this century, can't wait for PS5 Pro.

no one cares what your ethnicity is or anything about you, the video is about accessibility not your life bio
If you weren't so reactionary, your brain might be able to realize she described herself in that way for people with visual impairments.
@@thegreatODEN1 blind people will still know what gender the people in the video are from their voices.
@@thegreatODEN1 Even people with visual impairments can still clearly hear that's a woman and that's a man.
@@MichaelM28 Is that all she said?
@@thegreatODEN1there is something called voice
Severely disliked ratioed
Don't care. makes me barf
nobody cares lol
shut up and watch something else then
This is like that woke Microsoft video 🤦🏼♂️
hello
What in gods name is that creature I’m seeing on screen
So sick of hearing this "my pronounce are" bs
Sony is being run by liberals there looking into the nft market too. Sonys future looking very woke
thank you
So you're tired of people sharing how they'd like to be addressed? Why is that bs?
@@thegreatODEN1 Because no matter what pronouns they want people to use, it's not up to them to decide how people address them. If you are a biological man and you want to be addressed "he/him", I will say "he/him", not because you want me to say that, but because I can see you are a biological man. If you are a biological man but identify as "she/her", I will say "he/him" because that is how I see and prefer to say it. People who say their pronouns in my eyes are virtue signalling and are trying to dictate what I should say.
@@QuakerRaze oh no someone's asking me to call them something which means they're trying to control everything I say. im so mad about someone simply asking me to address me a certain way that literally doesn't impact me in any way shape or form.
