The progress is backwards, but the “marketing” is clearly working…. This is purely so they can get a cut from those manufactures as they would need to pay a licensing fee now for those devices to work again. Or those people are forced to but controllers they profit from.

This is a pure scummy move to make profit.

Brook adapter on it's own costs more than an Xbox Series controller. For now I'll stay optimistic and hope that in the new scheme licensing fees won't outwieght what it costs currently to cobble together an adapter like that.

Yup,

For most licenses it's a few dollars. But let's say it's $5 per unit. A $100 fight stick becomes $105. It isn't a big deal in the grand scheme of things of that fight stick is now fully supported and is able to quickly link to the system woth no additional hardware or Tom foolery.
