Steven Spohn, COO of nonprofit organization Able Gamers, posted a disappointing experience with everyone’s favorite new multiplayer game on Twitter yesterday, involving accessbility.
Helldivers 2, developed by Arrowhead Game Studios, has a development team that’s been in the trenches from hour one—either putting out PR fires regarding server woes or responding to player feedback. The crew has been a (mostly) stellar example of a game studio with a great culture and a commitment to player feedback. So when Spohn hit social media to explain that the game was impossible for him to play due to a bizarre blockage of his accessibility software, Arrowhead CEO Johan Pilestedt listened.
