Awesome initiative, congrats to everyone involved in this brilliant project 💖
Gaming should be open to all individuals. SpecialEffect has a great mission that is important to all gamers. At a time of such turmoil in the world, gamers must stand together in promoting inclusiveness and understanding. The adventures we engage in while playing games showing us that there is so much value diversity and acceptance of others.
Good initiative, I also thing the accessibility in video games in underestimated, few games think about that.
This is a wonderful charity to help include people with disabilities a chance to enjoy one of the things I love most in this world.
This is actually a great idea to increase accessibility to gaming.
I think this charity is great, and proves that even in difficult times we think about helping those who needs it.
This had a special effect on me, that's for sure. It's uplifting seeing stories like this.
This is a generous giveaway to have expand throughout the year. I would like to see more of that in the future with other organizations. You picked a great one to start with! Good luck
As a special education teacher, this is very exciting. It will give many kids the opportunity to play games and will also serve as a way for them to connect with their peers.
That's so cool that organizations like Special Effect are working to make videogames more accessible. I think the drive to make the world more equitable for everyone makes the world better for us all. The breakthroughs that can come from that sort of mission improve all of society and not just the lives of individual members.
Giveaway aside. It's really cool what PC Gamer and SpecialEffect are doing right now. I had a friend that lost his hand in a workplace accident and we used to play together before losing his contact.
He had a custom setup so he could use a mouse and man... That setup was complicated, but he loved to play. If you are reading this, be safe bro and keep that beautiful spray control as always!

I love the work this charity is doing because when a larger variety of people are able to access gaming, the community as a whole benefits from the added diversity of points of view contributing to such a rich and rewarding hobby and industry.
Keep up the awesome work!
Keep up the awesome work!

Here at PC Gamer, we’re committed not only to highlighting independent games studios with our Studio Spotlights, but ‘Games Beyond Entertainment’ projects that make the world a better place. That’s why it’s our pleasure to announce our year long awareness campaign in support of SpecialEffect.
What do SpecialEffect do?
SpecialEffect put fun and inclusion back into the lives of people with physical disabilities by helping them to play video games.
By using technology ranging from modified joypads to eye-control, they find ways for people to play to the very best of their abilities.

I too have family and customers of my business that actually Excel in game play. Sometimes beating me
I think they are doing really great and important things by helping those who need it
For people with disabilities, everyday things other people can be hard and it should be the humanity's aim to lessen these hardships. Through entertainment they can't experience otherwise, they will become a part of the community. SpecialEffect operates for this cause and we should support them in every way we can.
My daughter is disabled and confined to a wheelchair. Luckily she can play video games without much limitation but a lot of people aren't as fortunate. She's had a difficult life so anytime we can help her do something that everyone else can do, she's happy. It's difficult because she's so much more limited but it's absolutely worth it. Seeing companies like SpecialEffect put so much work into helping people with disabilities partake in something that everyone else enjoys and takes for granted is simply amazing.
I play the good guy in games so I might as well do the good things in life also. This seems a great thing to do!
