Accessibility in Gaming || 2020 Video Essay
4Digital and Physical Accessibility in video games. This is the third video I've done for this college course I'm in, and will be the last video I do for the class. Those were on captioning in gaming, and technological embodiment.
I switched editing programs so this one isn't quite as well rounded as my last video visually (disregard the rendering glitches near the end of the video), and I also think the script for this one could have been revised a few more times, but I think my point gets across despite a few of my bolder(?) claims. Opinions are my own, of course.
