[games_access] Stevie Wonder pleads for "disabled accessiblity"

[AudioGames]

Hi,

Does anyone know a link to a video of the award ceremony featuring this moment? I can't find it anywhere and since I'm outside the 
US, the official site (http://www.spike.com/event/vga2009) doesn't allow me to view the shows highlights. Michelle, is it possible 
for you to make a recording from the Spike.com website?

Greets,

Ries

Hi,

I got this via xing.


Tonight at Spike TV's Video Game Awards '09, Stevie Wonder was present to
award The Beatles: Rock Band with Best Music Game for the year and well
deserved too!

However, whilst the Motown Legend praised music titles for allowing a much
broader audience to get involved and enthused about music making, he also
pleaded that the Industry began to ensure that these games could be enjoyed
by people similar to himself - those with disabilities.

I have to say that such a topic has never really been addressed by the games
industry as far as I can remember. It is certainly plausible that the
industry can introduce a range of peripherals that could have capabilities
to allow everyone to play them - brail placed on the buttons is one example.

Anyway what do you think? Is this something the industry should be
addressing?
