@status-204 @Retron, how many wheelchair users have you seen in games? How many were positive representations?
When you see so few wheelchair users in games, and then the ones you see want to die to not be in a wheelchair anymore, that strongly affects how other people see wheelchair users in general.
Now, if games were filled with wheelchair users with all sorts of different stories this wouldn’t been as big of an issue.

Great to see that they want to incorporate a more positive representation of wheelchair users. My respect for the company has really grown.
Not all representation is good. It’s like when gay characters have mostly been villains for decades. Or lived very sad lives.
