Journalist Laura Kate Dale recently went to the Nintendo Switch 2 Experience at London and tested out the new Drag x Drive game. What is interesting is she overheard the booth attendants say to another attendee that they had been told to refer to the wheelchairs, which the player zooms around in, as vehicles and not wheelchairs. Gaming journalist Chris Scullion mentions that he heard the same thing from a booth attendant.
Drag X Drive booth staff mention they’d been told to refer to them as “vehicles” and not wheelchairs
They definitely look more like wheelchairs than vehicles to me, maybe my car outside on my driveway is a wheelchair and these are vehicles. I think not!
😂
Drop the price.
why do i have a feeling nintendo are getting ready to copyright there own wheelchairs?
I guess they’re trying to avoid DEI sanctions.
Here’s my issue with situations like this. I know they’re trying to be maybe politically correct? Or sensitive to people that are differently abled…. But there’s nothing wrong with calling them what they are. They are literally wheelchairs and are operated the same way. Manual wheelchairs are operated. Sigh…
Yeah like, those are clearly chairs with wheels, I don’t know why they have to do this
Joe from family guy: Alright!!
lol, I literally heard him screaming that when I read it.
I always got the impression that this game was a way for Nintendo to be inclusive…..so I guess not???
But…they are wheelchairs?
No, they’re dial seats.
If you didn’t want people to call them the thing they clearly look like, maybe you could’ve… gone with a different design?
That’s… kinda messed up. They’re wheelchairs- be inclusive with your game and call them wheelchairs, otherwise you’re just profiting off of disability instead of actually being inclusive of it. That’s so disappointing.
