As a red, green and blue colourblind 26 year old, I have numerous issues with vibrant games or those which have a basic colour palette which uses the colours I cannot see properly. I recently bought RUSH, which is a puzzle game on steam in the sales and can't play it to save my life because their doesn't appear to be a colourblind mode in the options to shift the red and green blocks to something I can actually see.
The source based games and most of the U3 based titles have colourblind option modes put in, changing the base colours on essential parts of the game (from crosshairs to objective markers etc) so that I can enjoy them as much as anyone else.
Lets take frozen synpase as another prime example. I can't honestly tell the difference between either side due to the **** colour scheme used in the game and there appears to be no option to change it after a bit of internet digging. Due to that, I have to completely avoid a game I'd potentially like to buy, play and enjoy.
There are MANY more examples of this being a problem, but is colourblindness in users something which a publisher really should take into consideration, based on most gamers are male and most colourblind sufferers are also male?
Serious thread btw, no "what colour is this then?" sort of BS or I'll report you for trolling.
