Erik Bigglestone makes his return debut on the Manaverse Podcast to share his experience dealing with an ADA lawsuit last year and talk about ways for game stores to protect their businesses from predatory actors. We discuss how Games of Berkeley was targeted last year for an Accessibility claim out of New York, the pattern of certain plaintiffs and lawyers in serving businesses in the local game store community, why making your website accessible needs to be a high priority for every game store with a website (pretty much everyone in the US at this point) and the solutions that are available right now.Links MentionedCase Tracker: https://www.pacermonitor.comGames of Berkeley Case: https://www.pacermonitor.com/public/case/45245700/Toro_v_Evil_Empire_Inc,_dba_Games_of_Berkeleyhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strategic_lawsuit_against_public_participationRemediation Company #1: https://216digital.com/Remediation Company #2: https://adasitecompliance.com/Lawyer that handled Erik's case: https://www.steinllp.com/https://www.accessibility.com/search?term=mars+khaimov&amp;type=SITE_PAGE&amp;type=LANDING_PAGE&amp;type=BLOG_POST&amp;type=LISTING_PAGETry Accessibe free for 7 days: manaversesaga.com/ada (affiliate link)See how accessible your website is: https://accessibe.com/accessscanIf your shop is based in the US, your game store's website may be a huge liability for you.
