I would have even thought about it b4 reading this story... 4 real but now i see that even PC gamers are in danger. I'm stoked to FINALLY SEE THE PC COMMUNITY getting involved thanks to Gareth. He did the one thing I couldn't do.
Admittedly, I think a lot of us are guilty of never having considered this an issue before, but with Gareth bringing it to our attention and the OcUK community being strong, the kind of movement that originated from here has strong basis. Add to that your own campaign and we find a common goal, something to unite on. It's great to see the work being done by both sides and this goes to show what power the people have.

read some of the comments. 2 of them are silly i feel.
pc's are far so much customizable than consoles ect., e.g much different controllers, mouses, head controllers, switchs, ect.
of course i wouldn't think i'd be able to use a ipad or something like that.
As others have said, there are always a few silly folk on the internet, but it's better to rise above them. After all, they are exactly that: silly.
A lot of people don't expect people with a disability to be able to use computers, let alone play games, so the fact that you make can and do use computers, and do so so well, is a far more powerful statement. Yes, you may not be able to use certain technologies like an iPad, but that doesn't mean that we should not work towards a solution where, through adapting them, you can use more of those technologies which were previously out-of-bounds (as an example, eye-tracking systems on the iPad might allow you to use it without having to touch the screen at all with your hands). That takes a lot of work on the development side, but it also takes a lot of determination on the user side. A level of determination that you have shown throughout this thread, something which I believe everyone here has a great deal of respect for.
Just remember that what you are doing is something to be proud of and is of significance. Their comments will be forgotten, but your achievements will not.
On a small side-note, I'm going to try talking to some of the techs on my area's wider team and see if I can get them to sign the petition and help to spread the word to those who might not visit the kind of sites that have posted about your story and Chuck's so far.
lol
maybe they had more sells this past 5days.
I know a couple of people who redirected their browsers from a competitor's site to OcUK after reading the posts by Gibbo and Valkia in here. Not sure if they actually made the purchases, though.
