Disabled activist and prolific writer Alice Wong of the Disability Visibility Project, has passed away.
Below are her final words, I particularly love the line:
“I’m honored to be your ancestor and believe disabled oracles like us will light the way of the future”
Rest in peace and power Alice.

Looking for examples of national (scoped to a single country) gamedev awards that have an accessibility category. So far have ADGA (Aus), Pavs (NZ), Pégases (France), Premios Iris (Spain), and MCV Develop/TIGA/Develop Stars (UK). Anyone know of any others?
