PSA: Macro Sound Effects Harm People with Sensory Issues

[Texa]

On the flip side though, you have to realize that if you have severe sensory issues as well as severe mental issues, cooperative video games are going to give you a lot of issues in general that you might be better off avoiding.

Nobody on here is asking for any major overhaul to the game. All that's being requested here at this time by this person is basically to have added that they can check to turn off user macros similar to what we already have for effects from others users or custom emotes. All that op is asking for is for one tiny option to be added to help them enjoy the game better. It's not any different from SE making minor adjustments for the color-blind.

I personally deal with a cognitive disorder that affects my ability to process spoken directions that makes it basically impossible for me to do high-end content that requires group chat coordination. My solution to that problem is just to not run that content. But I was the one who made that decision. It's not the business of people who don't deal with issues like that to make that call for what disabled games can or cannot handle or what even defines a "strong" disability. At the same time we're free to complain about any features we do not like just like the rest of the gaming population which doesn't have to serve any kind of grand purpose beyond venting.
