Buried deep down: > Video Game Accessibility: > Unfortunately, the exemption allowing circumvention of digital locks on video games for accessibility purposes (introduced in 2021) was not renewed. No petition for renewal was submitted, and as a result, individuals with disabilities who need alternative input methods to play video games are left out.

With games it seems like accessibility allowances would be dual-use, making it easier to cheat or make a bot.

  The alternative of making such acts a crime seems like a grossly disproportionate response though.

  That's only really an issue for specific games.
