Finally! Steam Adds Accessibility Tags! (But Why Are There Two Systems?!) 🤔
26In this video I talk about the BIG NEWS for accessibility. Steam will finally be adding Accessibility tags to their storefront pages and giving developers a new way to add them to their existing games' pages. This is huge because players will eventually be able to search for accessible games by using these tags later this year. If this sounds familiar, it's because it is. Last month, ESA announced the Accessible Games Initiative, which has universal accessibility tags that are similar to Steam's, but not quite. So this could, down the road, make the universal language of accessibility tags even less universal.
