Gaming, accessibility, boneheadedness, Ubisoft. 

Watching @orrery play _Assassin's Creed: Origins_ so here are my non-spoiler non-gameplay-related thoughts:

• Why is there no way to make text larger? Not everyone is possessed of flawless eyesight and a 72" monitor.

• Why can't I even get a consistent 30 FPS at the lowest visual settings on a Radeon RX 580? Oh, the game's CPU-bound—

• Why would you make a game this CPU-bound at a time when CPU speeds have plateaued?

• Ooh, pretty bird.

Gaming, accessibility, boneheadedness, Ubisoft. 

@orrery It gets better. Subtitles default to being off, and even when switched on, there are no subs on anything said by random folks on the street or people who are shouting at you or basically any non-plot dialogue.

Ubisoft, get your shit together.
