Sadly my last day at AbleGamers will be Dec 4th. They're going through some kind of reorg and most of the team is moving on.
I'll still continue some work at www.thecontrollerproject.com utilizing volunteers around the world to #3dprint items to help disabled gamers.

Hard read as someone who knew a lot of people that worked there. Please remember that even if leadership did bad, there are/were many people at Ablegamers who genuinely did good things for accessibility over the years despite the mismanagement and they are gonna catch strays from all this.
AbleGamers has become synonymous with the gaming accessibility movement, but new reports from former employees and members of the accessibility community describe abuse, financial mismanagement from leadership, and a board that failed to protect its employees.
