[Thomas Westin]

Great initiative Barrie!

I have
- voted (of course!)
- blogged about it here http://igda-gasig.org/2015/12/14/promote-very-broad-difficulty-adjustment-in-games/
- and linked it from the start page of igda-gasig.org

> From a selfish side, Xbox One games having  very broad difficulty level adjustment would make many games easier for those using "Gaming Redux" methods (reducing controls down, such as a standard joypad game down to one-stick and a couple of buttons, or at the extreme end, down to a single button/switch).
