This is literally what inclusive game design and better accessibility settings are for: Providing options for players to control potentially traumatic content that might trigger panic attacks. And yes, that includes spiders. It's on us to improve the way we make games. #gamedevhttps://twitter.com/Kotaku/status/1316854492529405954 …

But how can you fix it? I mean, you have to go to a spider cave or something like that, how you blur them? it's ruins the experience. Maybe if you are that easily trigger by spiders you should look for help? or not play the game? It's an honest question ...

For example, option to turn them into a different insect. In the article they mentioned a game that turns them into slimes. I personally think it's fair enough if spiders are a key part of your design but many games have them as set dressing or minor elements.
