Thinking about universal access to computer gaming

I've been thinking a lot lately about computer games, social networks like Second Life, and access for all people. I went out on the web looking for who else is thinking about it and ran across this great 2005 account of one person's desire to have fun while working on his AT use.
http://www.csun.edu/cod/conf/2005/proceedings/2233.htm is the link for "FUNCTION FOLLOWS FUN: HOW GAMES HELPED ME TO DEVELOP MY SWITCH SKILLS."

It is great to see how computer technology is progressing these days. I understand how people with disabilities so desperately would love to play games but were not able to.
As a disabled person myself, I have searched for methods of playing games online. Even though I still hand operate a mouse, I still find they change too much and get smaller so they are harder to operate with limited function.
I know eventually there will be an easy solution for people with any kind of disability to play games.
