I'm aware, what with being a 45-year old British person - a country famous for having five accents every ten miles - and a professional writer who regularly writes in English and American English (as well as having a toddler's understanding of about four other languages that aren't English).
However I'm talking about the gulf in how we approach the language around disabilities - and it's right from the start here. I very much doubt any British gaming company would even think about calling this assist "Blind Driving Assist"; we just... wouldn't say that.
People with disabilities are "people with disabilities", not "disabled people" - they're not defined by the disability, but it's something they have. Everyone in the video seems quite happy with it, but the guy in it isn't a "blind gamer" in English*, he's a "gamer with blindness" (or possibly "vision impairment", or a subset thereof; "blindness" might cover low vision, limited vision, no vision, etc).
It was genuinely odd to read and to hear a lot of what was being said in the release and video, which... just wouldn't fly over here. Hence, as I said, my extensive rewrite of the language in my article. And I'm aware GTP is an American English site - because I have to write "tire" and "color" frequently 
- but it's my name on it...
*Of course how a person prefers to refer to themselves is their own prerogative
I'll preface this by stating I have Muscular Dystrophy and have been in a wheelchair since around 2005, so have some experience in the disability thing. Not having a crack at you either, as I understand that as a professional you need to abide by the standards of the day on such things.
I really don't get the over sensitivity to labeling, I actually find the hyper sensitivity from the "able bodied" as to how those with an affliction are labeled worse than anything someone could call me. Imo patronising is worse than ignorance. I'd rather all the resources that have been put into "what do we call these ****ers" was used to improve accessibility, like fix a few footpaths, knock up a few more accessible toilets, sound effect things walk signals etc.
I had someone once get stuck into a mate of mine, we were at an airport and he was on the phone to the guy that was picking us up as he couldn't find us. He must have been a bit loud out of frustration and said "we are near the Starbucks at arrivals, look for the guy in a wheelchair" We then had a couple come over and had a go at him about how insensitive he was and that I was more than a guy in a wheelchair blah blah. Virtue signaling gone mad. I know they meant well, but it's just crazy. To me it's common sense, old mate that was looking for us found us a lot quicker than if he was just looking for 2 men with brown hair in a crowded airport.
It almost feels like people are afraid to say it as that they are worried we don't realise we are disabled, trust me, we know. I've had this discussion with a few other people I know in a similar position to me, and they feel much the same.
Sorry to go off topic, just I've seen a lot of media on the subject, but not in an area where I can comment on it.
On topic, well done to Turn 10. Great initiative and I'm sure that those with dodgy eyes will love it and it will be a pretty good thing for a lot of others as well.
