Possibly, I think the math on number of people that currently purchase controllers that will be blocked in the future is a very small amount of money compared to the possibility of losing that revenue to other gaming sources if that is the reason.
"Preserving console experience" really feels like corporatespeak to say "cheaters" without saying the devices in question (because then it raises visibility to those devices).
I think the "doing this for money" is the people who are currently not gaming due to rampant cheating in games like R6S, Apex, COD, etc.
- soraminazuki 3y agoThat's a convenient metric. Or rather, the lack of it. My common sense tells me there are significantly more people using third party controllers than there are cheaters, though.
- 0x500x79 3y agoI think the metric is blocked controllers, which is a small subset of 3rd party controllers. So far the most common people complaining about this change is cronus and xim users not legit players. Most 3rd party controllers that are being sold online are still compatible afaict.
- ThatPlayer 3y agoI don't think it has affected xim or cronus at all. They use official first party Xbox controllers to handle authentication, and MITM them to inject inputs. Instead the big one affected has been Brooks, who make very popular boards for custom fighting game controllers. https://www.brookaccessory.com/support/xbox-Issue-update.php https://www.brookaccessory.com/support/xbox-Issue-update.php https://twitter.com/maximilian_/status/1718811336493482448 https://twitter.com/maximilian_/status/1718811336493482448
