Background

Require gaming developers to make their games adaptable for disabled users. For example have racing games compatible with a gaming steering wheel for those with cerebral palsy or similar conditions.

Additional details

We are concerned that most gaming companies are slowly making their games less accessible to disabled users. We find this unfair and a barrier in the quality of disabled users lives. We think the gaming developers are cutting costs and phasing out the use of a gaming steering wheel which makes it difficult for those with conditions connected to hand/finger functionality unable to enjoy playing games.
