Until I see examples of games that needed to use stylised font to achieve their art direction, we'll have to agree to disagree.

I've chosen not to buy games due to bad font choices, and I don't even have visual challenges. Accessibility isn't only for folks with disabilities.

Does not*

I disagree tbh. You have to double localisation efforts for the fonts, which is less feasible for indie devs.

On the "New and trending" chart on Steam, Hellclock, The King is Watching and Wheel World are examples of stylised games that use mostly standard fonts. Doesn't not hurt their art direction

Entirely possible to stylise standard accessible fonts with colour and weighting to fit your games artstyle while maintaining accessibility imo

Related, I'll always shout-out Atkinson Hyperledgible for accessibility purposes. It's available free to all uses too! www.brailleinstitute.org/freefont/

They should absolutely be providing other options but maybe they've just been stung by so many people being caught with scams and can claim they only take cash? Idk, trying to understand their logic
