Sony was granted a patent on a buttonless, or touchscreen, controller last week.

This doesn't mean there are any plans to produce such a controller, but it gives an opportunity to think about the potential accessibility benefits and drawbacks of one.

Side-scrolling run and gun games aren’t known for their accessibility, but Carlos found that Terminator 2D: No Fate has some features helping it be more accessible.

Despite that it still has some especially taxing timed sequences where cheats can help.

Last week Steam updated their accessibility tags. One name changed to improve clarity, but adopting the name from its Accessible Games Initiative counterpart would be more helpful.

Three new tags should be helpful for players to find games they can play.
