from Kelley Drye Full Spectrum · host Kelley Drye Communications Practice
Starting January 1, 2019, any new video game software that is capable of accessing or using an advanced communications service must include solutions to eliminate barriers to accessibility for people with disabilities. In this episode, Partners Steve Augustino and Josh Guyan, and Associate Avonne Bell discuss the upcoming end to a waiver for video game software products that will bring them under the purview of the FCC’s disabilities access rules for communications like voice or text chat included in video game software. This discussion will help video game software developers become better informed, plan and design appropriately, and keep adequate records for the purpose of meeting this new obligation.
