Yeah, my issue is mainly because my games are very story heavy with a lot of reading involved; and some are even paid (or planned to be paid).

But I agree that it depends on the game.

There are other accessibility reasons where it's physically harder for someone to game or they don't own a pc. Of course it's still up to each dev to define their boundaries for these things, but it might be good to consider uploading silent playthroughs yourself if you're able to! (2/4)

That beid said, when it comes to story heavy and esp. paid games I completely agree with you that people shouldn't make silent playthroughs without permission. I do think they are a luxury so a silent playthrough should be up to the dev to distibute if they wish to, possibly monetary. (3/4)

Tldr; depending on the type of game, silent playthroughs can be great accessibility tools but let's players should 100% respect devs boundaries around them. (4/4)
