[games_access] scene it... "controller that anybody can use " ?

[d. michelle hinn]

Yes, I have them -- and we talked a bit about 
them on the list. They came out about maybe a 
year ago in the US? And you are right -- it is 
NOT the controller "anybody" can use. I emailed 
friends of mine at Microsoft and they would not 
comment on the accessibility of the controller.

The good part about it is that it *is* accessible 
to more people and really could be repurposed as 
a controller for other games if they wanted to 
start getting serious about accessibility. But 
again...they make no comment. Microsoft has an 
entire division/group that works in 
accessibility...everywhere but at the game 
studios. We have a very strange relationship with 
them (Disclaimer: and, years ago, I worked at 
Microsoft Games).
