You see that little celebrating Xbox Avatar in the image sat upwards of this writing? Well, little black avatar, so you should be celebrating, because Xbox have taken another step towards full inclusion of all gamers from all backgrounds – which can only be a good thing.
Basically when questioned on the subject of wheelchairs for Xbox Avatars, Mr Phillip Jane Spencer (not sure if that is his real name, if it isn’t then Phil, please accept my apologies), responded thusly:
@goldennike11 @SeamusBlackley No petition needed, we hear you. This is something that we’ve already looked at, not far off.

Such a relatively simple thing, but it’s the relatively simple things that often get overlooked for gamers from minorities and these little things can mean a lot more than just what they can appear to be at face value.
Are you a disabled gamer? What do you think of this news? Are there any other additions for disabled gamers that could also be included? Whatever your thoughts and opinions on this, let us know in the comments below or in the RGM Forums.
