From the opinion piece:

Last year, I pointed out how many big publishers came crawlin' back to Steam after trying their own things: EA, Activision, Microsoft. This year, for the first time ever, two Blizzard games released on Steam: Overwatch and Diablo 4.

While we're at it can we also have both sets of controller glyphs available on PC for games that released on Xbox and Playstation? My ps5 controller works fine but I still see "press Y to interact" in game

some games do show ps5 glyphs, if the game uses steam input api completely it will show

and some other games show glyphs natively like FIFA/FC 24 and other ps games like spiderman, god of war etc

Unfortunately FromSoft missed this memo and only has Xbox/MKB glyphs native. Since Elden Ring uses anti-cheat I can't even mod the ps5 glyphs in without losing online functionality :(

The games that just let you choose within the options are gold. With GeForce Now, OSX, Moonlight, or 3rd party controllers it is sometimes a total mess to just display as a damn PlayStation or Nintendo controller. I can't stand the Xbox layout and it is even worse when I get used to playing a game with one layout and then I am expected to use a different one because using X launcher on other system doesn't see the controller that way.

I can't help that my brain can't switch back and forth easily nor mentally remap buttons that clearly say something different when I look down. I have put labels next to the buttons on my 8bit controllers so I can "remember" what the Xbox layout is... The only layout I don't need labels for is PlayStation.
