The optimist in me says “maybe this is just to prevent cheaters from using XIM and Cronus and it’ll be cheap and easy for other manufacturers to get authorized”

The pessimist in me says “so Microsoft is going to charge a shitton for authorization… great”

The realist in me says “I play on PC”

I’m relatively confident that Microsoft understands its only leg up on Apple is that its ecosystem isn’t a walled garden.

Also, thanks to Valve, gaming on Linux is getting so much easier

it’s = a contraction for “it is” its = possessive

It’s the opposite of what you’d think.

Just use a razer mouse, it doesn't need any help from windows to stop working

If a game can be cheated by using a 3rd party controller then the only skill involved in the game is how fast you can press the buttons, so who cares?

[-] BmeBenji@lemm.ee 1 points 7 months ago

I disagree with your premise there. Using a controller that requires absolute input (a mouse) while your opponents use a controller that requires relative input (a joystick) gives you a leg up but it doesn’t remove skill altogether. Using a mouse still requires skill, but it’s easier to learn to use well.
