I'd imagine it'd be a reasonable tradeoff for disabled people who can't use their hands.

Phrasing, I wasn't blaming anyone, just curious about the technicalities.

Couldn't that also cause glitches since optimizations meant for HL2 might not work for, say San Andreas? I understand some optimizations might be universal but I can't help but thi…
