A disabled gaymer

Post by Daehawk »

Thats his way of spelling gamer since he is gay. This guy, Robert Kingett, is pretty amazing in his story and the way he keeps going.

Companies really are missing out on a chunk of profits out there by not paying more attention to the disabled out there. I mean even I have trouble reading stuff that I cant change the fonts on. Robert was a preemie baby and suffers with cerebral palsy and blindness. But he is in college and does gaming reviews...he is a huge gamer. He is also a motivational speaker. He has to put up with small fonts, pixel hunts, not to mention other gamers who make fun of him because of his stutter and call him retarded online. I mean thats just the tip of the crap people like Robert have to put up with. Companies really need to do more.

I seem to recall another post on OO about gaming with disabilities..i swear I posted in it..but cant find it.

EDIT: Sony even gave him a PS4...good on ya Sony!
