The defense force is strong with this one ... Geez, first off, it was clearly an insensitive statement; that's not really debatable, as people with disabilities were offended by it. Heck, having a PR background, I cringed when reading it, before knowing that was part of the complaint.
Also, wanting to remap buttons is not done insanely out there request. It's quite benign, actually. He wasn't asking for a total game redesign, but there is nothing wrong with wanting companies to think about broader issues during design.
We had a developer mention on GAF before that it's not really that simple to add in remapping after the game has already been completed, so a developer needs to think about this sort of issue from the design stage.
