is it easy for devs to impliment this into games??

yes

if they can remap some actions surely they can do it to all the actions

Ok yeah full customization. I am focusing on the console developers but full customization should be full.

It is 2011 for gosh sake! forget kinect and other stuff just give us remapping.

Indeed, you would have thought it would have been more needed before now really, even I've had to change my game style in some games due to remapping

Unless there is a legitimate reason for not being able to patch this in...then its basically lazyness

going by the petition details it focuses on Consoles and developers...:

Game developers Zipper, Infinity Ward, Treyarch etc. and video game console manufactures Sony, Microsoft & Nintendo.

This is a request for the ability to change video game button configurations in todays games. ReMapping is the choice to move button command (jump, duck, attack etc.) from A to button B.

The time for full button customization in games is here.

This petition is from my perspective as a disabled gamer who finds many games unplayable because of my inability to reach buttons, but also for millions of gamers who find today's game presets don't meet their needs.

Option 1. Developers: Could spend the time and resources needed to build reMapping into their games.

Option 2. Console Manufactures: Build reMapping into your systems. Allow users to build reMapping layouts and save them. What are the benefits of console side reMapping?
1. It will free the game developers from needing to do any more coding or QA testing.
2. One reMap for multiple games. For example if a player has one Call of Duty layout he can use it across all CoD games.

In this day and age Custom reMapping is easy to implement and beneficial to millions of users/customers.
