For GAAD, Warner Bros. Games took the party to Twitter, underscoring the goal of making games for every single player. The tweet proceeded to call fans to comment on accessibility features in their games and linked to a form for the submission. As for the sentiment, it was pretty uplifting. The replies? Oh boy—fans made a ton of comments, many of which were not related to accessibility.
It’s a bit of a story. When it comes to inclusion, Warner Bros. Games promotes that the same games they promote are playable for everyone. Huge better, right? Think about all the players who need remappable controls, colorblind modes, or difficulty settings. But some fans pointed out that their larger titles like Hogwarts Legacy still bent some very basic accessibility features. User @LAN_00021 called them out bluntly: “There’s still no controller remapping or separate aiming inversion in Hogwarts Legacy. You talk about accessibility but your biggest games lack basic remapping.” Oof.
Then came the tide of requests completely unrelated to the original central topic and often fiercely salty. MK 1 fans were disappointed. Several responses accused WB of leaving the game, with one user, @christo67319878, stating: “Yes, thanks for ruining kp2 and killing the game super fast, leaving the years of content you promised in the trash!” Then @Entity_303__ demanded content, stages, and skins with a link to the considered “Mortal Kombat game fandom feedback.”
This is where things get dirty. The Batman: Arkham Origins crowd showed up en masse, begging for an official remaster. Many of the replies were just a straightforward: “Remaster Batman Arkham Origins.” Then one particularly enthusiastic fan @Ali49897281 tagged both Sony and PlayStation along with “Please remaster it!” and a crying emoji.
Then this is where things get… very interesting. @Bit_For_Shrains comes back with classic “How bout you access my balls, pal.” Charm. Then there’s @R0aquinn who just had to get it in: “Your games fucking suck mk1 was atrocious 🖕🏾🤣🤣.” Then @JohnBar64697504 took a stab at the WB CEO with: “David Zaslav destroyed WB in like 2 years what an insane speed run.”
At least a few tried to get the conversation back onto accessibility; @LynchUnhinged proposed, “Every game needs custom difficulty like South of Midnight.” And @Droidsmain pitched a Matrix collab in MultiVersus because, well, sure.
Hence, it is the conclusion: That’s a great thing-that Warner Bros. Games are trying to push accessibility. But their fans? They’ve got other priorities-remasters, DLCs that never come, and, uh, ball access. Whether WB will listen is anyone’s guess, although it does not seem the community may hold back anytime soon.
For the moment, if you really want to express thoughts on WB games’ accessibility, fill out a feedback form. Just don’t hold your breath for the Batman: Arkham Origins remaster anytime soon. Probably.
