🌙 Sleep-deprived thoughts...
After a night without sleep, some treadmill time, and lots of thinking, here’s a wild idea: could CS:GO ever be made accessible for blind players? 🎮🤔
It sounds far-fetched, I know, but hear me out. What if there were a mode or addon that used spatial audio to "ping" walls or obstacles (like a sonar effect) and distinct sound cues for player positions? It wouldn’t be the same as how sighted players experience it, but blind gamers have their own ways of navigating fast-paced games.
We already have some incredible audio-based games, and you wouldn’t believe the epic battles we’ve had—all sound, no visuals, just skill and spatial awareness. Making a game like CS:GO accessible might seem impossible, but with the right creativity, who knows?

in reply to Oleg • • •The problem with that idea is that it's multiplayer, so there's a very thin line between "not good enough" and "cheating".
You'd need to be extremely careful there, because pro players would turn the a11y features on if they gave them any possible edge over the competition.
Not to mention that this would need to come straight from the devs directly, as these games have really good anticheat (and hence anti-modding) protections.
