Ablegamers.com part of The AbleGamers Foundation, a public charity dedicated to promote accessibility in games for disabled gamers, has awarded Star Wars: The Old Republic their 2011 Ablegamers Mainstream Game of the Year Award.
Ablegamers opens with, "Every year there are two or three highly anticipated games released with massive hype and record-setting expectations. Most times these games fall completely flat when it comes to game accessibility, but this year one game set itself apart by including a fair amount of accessibility at launch while still meeting the public's expectations for an amazing game."
The game was hailed for built-in features such as automatically turning to face the monster you are killing, mini map colors being colorblind friendly, full subtitles, and the ability to control the entire game from the keyboard or with the mouse. They go on with many accessibility options such as full subtitles, queue-able actions, multiple action bars, area looting, auto looting, and built-in mouse sensitivity, which were noted to be missing on release of many other titles or omitted completely.
