Online Petition for changes to help Disabled Gamers

[ProjectAi]

http://www.petitiononline.com/cu5t0m/petition.html

This is a Petition started by Askacapper (His name IRL is Chuck but that is his gaming/youtube name) who is a quadriplegic gamer, who through button remapping is able to play many of the shooters we all love. His petition is for all game developers for all platforms to start allowing button remapping for all games to help all gamers be they able bodied or disabled.

He will be Taking his petition to PAX East in about of month to get some thoughts from game developers there.

I see this as a good cause and would love to see eGO members who feel the same signing the petition.

Done and signed. Great idea, not only helps him but also makes it so people won't have to relearn buttons.

Years ago I played Battlefield and CSS with a very good friend who had one arm. He overcame his disability, and was a pretty darn good helicopter pilot to boot. To have options to make these games easier to enjoy for those with disabilities is one of the best gaming ideas I have heard in a long time. Signed.

Personaly i see no reason for us to not have it already it takes very little to implement and it just adds customzation to the game for EVERYONE and it would obviously help disabled gamers more comfortable and able to play a game

Fantastic idea. This is not only useful to your average gamer, but a SUBSTANTIAL improvement for gamers who are disabled.

Definitely signed as I am also Disabled but my disability only affects me from the Knee down. I know exactly how this person feels and I've actually tried contacting Nintendo to come up with a Wii Fitness game aimed towards the Disabled people. :crying: Sad that I bought Wii Fit with Wii Fit board and found it's too difficult for me to stand on the board or do any of the exercises in the game itself. They should create more video games and such customized towards the disabled gamers. Just bcuz you're disabled doesn't mean you can't enjoy video games like everyone else. The world itself needs to be more disability accessible. I'd like for once to go to the beach shore and dip my feet in the water without having to be carried there or get my wheelchair stuck in the sand. A pavement leading to the water would be great.
