Hello! We’re very excited to bring you a piece from Ben Bayliss, the writer, disability advocate and editor-in-chief of Can I Play That? It’s a fascinating look at Ben’s journey through the industry and it’s also a reminder that sites – very much including this one – can do more in terms of accessibility.
Accessibility is always something I’ve found myself advocating for wherever I go. As a Deaf person who wears hearing aids, I’ve always advocated for myself in life: from working around barriers during my live TV career, to sharing my experiences online, to educating strangers who ask questions and desire to prod my hearing aid. The shift to professionally advocating for accessibility to the extent I am now was mostly driven by joining Can I Play That?, a video game outlet that focuses specifically on accessibility in games.
