You can't seriously argue that using a keyboard/mouse interface using the controller track pad is as nice an experience as just using a controller-focused interface.
And since the Steam Machine doesn't come with a controller, I would bet that a large fraction of users will be using an xbox controller or something.

- mort96 3mo agoThen what did you argue? What was the point of your comment? How is the problem "solved"?
- cassianoleal 3mo agoThe parent to my comment said: > launcher needs mouse input to function I said the trackpads solve for that. Nothing else. I didn't claim it was great, I didn't claim it was better than all alternatives, I didn't claim it works as well as a high-DPI mouse on an FPS. Whatever else you may have read on my comment was your own extrapolation.
- mort96 3mo agoAnd I'm saying trackpads don't solve that. They're a workaround, they make the game playable without a mouse, but it's not how you would design a system from the ground up to be a controller-first experience. That's the context of the conversation you jumped into.
- cassianoleal 3mo agoAgain, I was responding to "launcher needs mouse". NOT to some wider context. Again, the extrapolation is on yourself.
- mort96 3mo agoAnd I'm saying it's not a solution which makes using the launcher as nice as an equivalent console experience. It's a workaround which makes the game technically playable.
