Interesting.  I was unaware of that article.  All the dealings I've had with them have been great.   

They've provided about 200 Quadsticks to people over the years.  Thirty so far this year, so when the article says "While they previously provided adaptive gaming equipment to disabled individuals, they have recently dropped that initiative", that doesn't seem right, at least from my perspective.  They continue to provide plenty of quadsticks.  I refer people to them frequently, particularly if the quadstick isn't a good fit.  They have a broad range of equipment and expertise they can pull from to fit different disabilities.

I love Steve Spohn, one of the co-founders, he's always been very supportive and insightful.  Going all the way back to the Kickstarter, he's been a good source for advice.  I think I only spoke to Mark once or twice back about ten years ago.  I wondered why Steve left AbleGamers last November.  I thought it might have been health related at the time. I believe he's working with Mt Sinai now.

Whatever was going on internally, they always managed to keep things working smoothly from my end and lots of people wouldn't have quadsticks if they weren't there.  Hopefully they will come out of this in good shape.
