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.

"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?

Thanks – had seen something like that but didn’t realize it was first party.
