“Open the Gates’ Access Gaming Lounge is a big part of why we loved this year’s PAX as much as we did, so much so that I’m trying to get involved with Open the Gates as an excuse to go back next year for more days. Sharing knowledge about adaptive controllers is an exciting prospect too, oop.” 💜🧡💚 [contains quote post or other embedded content]
