Accessing EA's Jedi survivor is very challenging for left-handed individuals and those with disabilities.
I delayed installing Jedi Survivor due to its poor launch condition. Yet I tried it last night and encountered a problem that renders the game unusable. As a left-handed player, I've had to rewire the keys on every first and third person game in the past 25 years. I rely on my left hand for the mouse and keyboard shortcuts, but the UI blocks these inputs. I searched extensively on Steam and EA forums, finding numerous suggestions from users with similar needs—adjusting files, using autohotkey, etc.—but the main challenge has persisted since April without a permanent fix.
I believe it's an overreach to claim discrimination simply because a game restricts control options. I find it unfair when people broaden the meaning of words, which can distort their original intent. Labeling small frustrations as discrimination may trivialize the experiences of those who face more significant challenges. It appears developers overlooked this issue for too long, despite clear concerns from players. In that case, exploring one of the proposed solutions would be wise. If you prefer not to engage, a refund and a wait until the problem is resolved seem like the most reasonable choice.
It seems like you're questioning why left-handed users don't have dedicated keyboards and instead are forced to adapt. The responsibility likely lies with the manufacturers.
It's unfair if you're not affected by something that seriously changes how the game works. You shouldn't be expected to figure out technical issues just because they impact your experience. Playing as someone else isn't a valid way to judge discrimination. You don't need special tools or edits to play fairly.
It frustrates me when individuals overstate situations and present them as intentional acts. Many developers overlook such concerns, and it isn't a focus for them. It requires effort and resources, and studios often lack the time or budget to address it.
