Hi Heather. I can confirm that. On the website, Paul posted here, this is exactly, what they say. And when you look at the known issues, there is a whole lot, that doesn't work well or not at all. As far as accessibility i mean. You know what? It is really frustrating, that everything seems to go somehow, a bit but not fully, with a ton of workarounds, it might work and so on. I think, it is a shame. Best regards Daniel

I have heard that the person doing the Hearthstone mod couldn't keep up with Blizzind's updates. So Blizzard supposedly took over accessibility a while ago. From what I've seen on YouTube, though, it's hit-and-miss whether the game will play well with a user's computer. I've also heard of a mod that makes World Of Warcraft at least somewhat accessible. Especially the classic version, since it's easier to navigate; this according to the YouTuber Abbyforth.
