Hey! I’m doing research for a video about the accessibility of games released in 2020.

I know these videos are never going to do gangbusters in terms of traffic, and will attract shitty comments (some of which I’ve deleted), but it’s an important subject and I’d be wasting the amazing platform you’ve given me if I didn’t do stuff like this. Cheers!
