A few minutes ago, friend of the site Chuck Bittner (aka AskACapper) posted the following image on Twitter–an email from Jeep Barnett of Valve.
Evidently, the 73,610 signatures on Chuck’s petition was enough to convince the developer to add custom button remapping, in addition to horizontal inversion, to Portal 2. Clearly moved by his determination to help people, Valve is introducing this support in the upcoming free Portal 2 DLC, which will soon be available on all platforms.
Now, hopefully Portal 2 as well as Valve’s future games will be more accessible to all players.
Good job, Chuck.

Update: If you’re not sure what Chuck Bittner is petitioning for, here is a video of him explaining the petition.
I knew we could finally get it done, now on to more companies.
Words can't express how happy I am for Chuck right now. You did it, Chuck!
Yeah! Valve's amazing for doing this. I hope more companies start doing this as well.
Thanks everyone for the support I am stoked... I'd jump for joy if I could jump!
Lets hope this becomes a permanent thing with Valve games.
That's incredible! Finally a company adds custom button remapping to their game.
A small step forward and hopefully a big step forward for everyone if this can be implemented with more games in the future.
Go Chuck! Congrats dude! I'm glad to see developers finally taking notice, especially Valve!
Woah, that's awesome Chuck :D
Im proud to be a helpful. Eventually, we'll get more developers to give us custom remapping.
Yay this makes me so happy that his hard work paid off :D
Glad it got added :D Now if more companies would do this it would be even better
Chuck should be proud
I see this as a victory for ALL gamers, but I have to thank Chuck for taking the lead and organizing us all in a way that could not be ignored by the devs. Kudos Chuck!
Hopefully more companies see this and say. "Well since Valve is doing it, we have to do it." Congratulations Chuck, hopefully you will be getting more and more of these emails in the coming months.
