I love that this charity has found a unique way to support people with disabilities and help them enjoy life. In the future I would like to see them organize more tournaments for gamers with disabilities

PC Gamer Chat Log Episode 57: So the Fallout TV show is pretty good, huh?
- Status
As a person with a disability that limits some of my activities that I can do, I think this is wonderful. I know what it is like to miss out on things that others did and this is amazing. To help people feel included and not have to miss out on gaming.
Awesome charity. Perhaps more sports events in several and differents enviroments (forest, desert,) D
This is the first I've heard of the SpecialEffect initiative, but I'm all for it. Gaming is a hobby that I'm very passionate about, and I can't imagine being physically unable to interact with this medium that I've grown to love so much. I'm happy to support the charity in bringing gaming to everyone.
This helps people with disabilities enjoy playing games as much as everyone else, thus improving their quality of life. It's a good charity.
A great charity. I was first made aware of them some years ago when a game dev in the UK ran a charity stream for them. They do great work and provide a positive impact for many.
I have a friend with physical disabilities and it would be great to be able to have him join us on the adventures and laughs we have when gaming. This is spreading pure happiness. I hope this will become easily accessible to all people with physical disabilities.
I think it's awesome these amazing people exist to make gaming accessible for more people, spreading fun worldwide!
Glad to see accessibility expand into gaming for those with disabilities, gaming is increasingly popular with the advance of technology and it's only fair to try to make sure everyone's included in being able to enjoy games whether for fun or for learning.
As someone that knows how much joy videogames give us, seeing disabled people experiencing that same joy is amazing. Life is about living together, and this charity is the embodiment of it. I would love to see them expand to many other countries and eventually the whole world.
This is awesome, this type of charity can help peoples with disabilities to feel a little joy as well and maybe even help them recover their mobility if it can be possible. Very cool!
I'm glad to see SpecialEffect receive such positive support from so may people. They're a great charity doing some amazing work and helping to make a difference in the lives of so many (directly an indirectly). Keep up the good work!

The charity seems like an awesome way to serve and include a group that might be otherwise excluded in gaming. I love hearing about people who help out like this. Sometimes, they don't get enough time in the spotlight compared to all of the other things going on in the world.

Bringing occupational therapists (while expensive) would allow for really intuitive and personalized setups for individuals with unique difficulties in experiencing their favourite video games. Their job is to assist their clients with anything that "occup[ies" their time that they are struggling with due to age, disability, etc. Video games sure do occupy my time and I know that OTs around the world would be overjoyed to assist in bringing this type of joy back into lives.
I love what they do! Gaming should be accessible to every single person in the world who wants to have fun, and this organization knows exactly how to turn this into a reality!
I would love to see them get into direct neural control, but I suppose that is way into the future.
Keep up the excellent work!
