Hey Lynsey,

That's a wonderful initiative! Any chance that you guys are planing to
add a tag for games that are Deafblind Accessible as well?

Cheers,
Mathias Nordvall

> Hello all!
>
> IndieCity, our indie games portal, has added basic accessibility tags alongside the PEGI-style content descriptors:

>
> At the moment we've got icon tags for:
>
> Colour Blind Accessible
> Deaf Accessible
> Epilepsy Warning
> Remappable Controls
>
> Developers can also add their own tags.  I'm hoping to push the visibility of it a bit more so that people know it's there, but I'm quite pleased it's gone live and is alongside the other content descriptors - it's a shame that PEGI don't do the same with boxed products.
