Designing for disability: how video games become more accessible

Gaming provides entertainment and community for billions of people worldwide. However, video games haven't always been accessible to those with disabilities. But this is changing.Today, in the next installment of our series on the business of video games, we explain how accessibility has become an increasingly important priority for game developers and how advocates pushed them to this point.Related episodes:Forever games: the economics of the live service model ( [Apple] (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/forever-games-the-economics-of-the-live-service-model/id1320118593?i=1000653230081) / [Spotify] (https://open.spotify.com/episode/4gE5nqoECdS8MSFwhYQXV0?si=ee2e1c0d1e8b4586) )For sponsor-free episodes of The Indicator from Planet Money, subscribe to Planet Money+ via Apple Podcasts or at [plus.npr.org] (http://plus.npr.org/) .Music by [Drop Electric] (https://dropelectric.bandcamp.com/) .

Forever games: the economics of the live service model

People used to pay one standard price for their favorite games in a one-off transaction. But now, many game companies are offering their games for free, supported by in-game purchases. This is called the live service model. Today, the first episode of a week-long series about the video game industry. We investigate the promise and pains of the live service model and explain how it turned the industry upside down.

Why the EU is investigating China's wind turbines

Europe wants clean energy, but it's struggling to compete with the low cost of China's green technology. The E.U. just announced it's investigating the subsidies received by Chinese wind turbine suppliers, which play a part in those low costs. On today's episode, we speak with Margrethe Vestager, the European Commissioner for Competition, about how the E.U. is trying to build and maintain a competitive green tech industry in the face of low-price Chinese imports. And we ask how the U.S.'s climate industrial policy fits into all this action.Related Episodes:The surprising leader in EVs ( [Apple] (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-indicator-from-planet-money/id1320118593?i=1000642029169) / [Spotify] (https://open.spotify.com/episode/6GCBeTRZBR8gMgFUojsom3?si=5631f2d27617419c) ) Industrial policy, the debate!

You've heard of the British royal family, but what about the "working royals?"

The U.S. labor market continues its hot streak, adding 303,000 jobs last month — more than expected.

How the 'shadow fleet' helps Russia skirt sanctions

"Shadow fleet" refers to the collective of ships used by countries that have sanctions against them, like Russia, to transport commodities around the world. These ships pose threats to global and environmental security because they skirt international maritime law. So what can be done about them?Today on the show, we explain what exactly makes the shadow fleet so dangerous and why there are surprisingly limited options for how to deal with these problem ships.For sponsor-free episodes of The Indicator from Planet Money, subscribe to Planet Money+ via Apple Podcasts or at [plus.npr.org] (http://plus.npr.org/) .Music by [Drop Electric] (https://dropelectric.bandcamp.com/) .

Can an old law bring down grocery prices?

Since 2020, grocery prices have shot up. If you're looking to save a buck, it's often more affordable to shop for groceries at a big retailer like Walmart. But some smaller grocers say those low prices are the result of an unfair playing field—and they're looking to a little-used antitrust law from the 1930s as a solution. Today, we consider the Robinson-Patman Act and whether reviving it could bring consumers some relief.Related episodes: Grocery delivery wars ( [Apple] (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/grocery-delivery-wars/id290783428?i=1000553757209) / [Spotify] (https://open.spotify.com/episode/2EPvbSO26lQE5Gs1fAJEeD?si=177689970d504580) ) Feeling inflation in the grocery store ( [Apple ] (https://podcasts.apple.com/za/podcast/feeling-inflation-in-the-grocery-store/id1320118593?i=1000571399122) / [Spotify] (https://open.spotify.com/episode/0oBZ1DawZnW17UMxUbZEW4?si=e6541b608ba944b5) ) For sponsor-free episodes of The Indicator from Planet Money, subscribe to Planet Money+ via Apple Podcasts or at [plus.npr.org] (http://plus.npr.org/) .
