I've only had glasses for a few years and my eyesight is still pretty good, but it still amazes me how often I play games on my cell phone where I can barely read.

Granted, I know next to nothing about game development, and I’m sure changing font sizes can cause issues like broken text boxes or worse. I understand and sympathize with this, but at the same time, I can change the default font sizes on my iPhone, so why do I still have to squint in some of my games?

My open request to mobile game developers is to consider designing your games around slightly larger default text sizes. Or better yet, if the scope is manageable, give players the option to adjust the font size of your game.

Again, my eyes aren’t that bad, so I imagine this is an even bigger problem for people with poorer eyesight than me. Take a look at the screenshots below and try to read the text without zooming in. I can’t be the only one who finds this hard to parse.
