The console experience has, until this, been able to use 3rd party controllers. So saying this preserves the experience is a big fat fucking lie.
Why don't they just stop making the console if they want to kill it so badly? That's allowed.
Oh cool, I was wondering when the Xbox console was getting its next round of enshittification.
These excuses are always for your safety
This is how Sony won this generation by a landslide.
"You're doing something that goes against my interests. So guess what, I'll prevent it, while claiming that it's for the best of your interests. You're a customer thus stupid, and something stupid like you should be protected from itself. You «it»".
Do they make controllers that address all accessibility issues?
Yes, at least for most.
Thanks – had seen something like that but didn’t realize it was first party.
