It said the move is a step in its "commitment to create more inclusive play experiences," "break down barriers to game play and help advance awareness of those affected by colorblindness."

Translation: Sell to more customers.

I mean, yes. A game that’s enjoyable by more people should have wider appeal.

It’s nice this greed has a side effect of allowing more people to play.

Ah yes, the giant untapped market: Colorblind people, making up a solid 5% of the populace.

This is the rare time capitalism breeds good innovation. The right thing for the wrong reasons is still the right thing.
