摘要：
This study investigates how the word "accessibility" is used in online news articles published by two video game-based disability advocacy organizations. AbleGamers is an accessibility and disability advocacy charity focused on improving the lives of people with disabilities through gaming. Can I Play That? publishes accessibility reviews of video games. Both organizations have news pages that publish disability and accessibility news. The study examines 50 news articles published by these organizations for how they use the word "accessibility." The articles produced 105 instances of the word "accessibility." The study finds nine themes for how "accessibility" is used. The study compares those uses and concludes by producing six pseudo-definitions for video game accessibility.
