100% agree, I cite those straw polls in talks but always give the disclaimer that most complained about doesn't equal most prevalent, and give difficulty reading as an example - hugely prevalent but huge stigma that prevents speaking up about it.<br>

I will say, when people talk about "most asked for accessibility features", and then do so from straw polls on-line and other social media.... they may simply be reflecting a narrow bubble that misses out on many unheard voices.

<div>It's really important to talk about the most excluded players. To my mind, that's in the area of learning disabilities and also blindness. One fundamental approach that can improve life for both areas (and many others) is to give options to reduce in-game
