I'm not a fan of religion myself, but a few of my friends are religious and I support them for their choices either way (just as long as they don't try to convert me). |
I am an ardent Atheist. Either way, it's a discussion for another day. They simply will not get my support.

Edit: after some checking, it seems there have been gamepads and mods made for the disabled over the years: https://www.ranker.com/list/video-game-controllers-for-people-with-disabilities/nathan-gibson So this isn't exactly a first ever thing to be done before. Likely the first ever Superbowl ad for something like this, but we shouldn't put the ad above the act itself, an act already done before by others out there. Of course it'll help their image, I wasn't expecting it to backfire or damage their image. |
Oh yeah. There has been tons of attempts at making things accessible to the disabled over the years.
The Nintendo Wii was a big inroad to that as well.

I'm aware it's nothing new, but that doesn't mean it's alright for any company to make prime use of the disabled, like an upcoming president campaigner does when using someone's baby for PR. End of the day it's great that the disabled get more going for them. I just wish these companies displayed this level of caring a decade or two ago, because to me it doesn't feel genuine, it feels like using them, and no one likes the disabled being taken advantage of PR or not. |
It's a catch 22. Those with disabilities can often be under-represented and thus go unnoticed by the general community.
And I agree, it would have been good to see them start making inroads decades ago, but for whatever reasons... Didn't happen.
And to be fair, they have been supporting those with disabilities on Windows since the early 90's.
But on the flipside, it's happening now and credit should be given where credit is due, it's always easy for everyone to simply hate on . - Microsoft is allot of things and deserves allot of it's criticisms, I just don't feel this is one of them.
