Alt text: Yeah yeah, there's always exceptions, I mean look no further than the game in the 2nd panel, not the most thrilling gameplay, is it?

    I think the money aspect is a big one with this. Someone with a Steam Deck and/or Switch doesn’t see the need (well, Switch maybe unless it’s jailbroken), but if you just want something and money is tight then a new 50€ controller and your existing phone gets you way further.

      50€? What has happened to the controller market in Europe while I was in the toilet?

      EDIT Cheap gamesir for $35 USD. I’ve got an old gamesir g3s. Something like 10 years old. Still works great, i might have to reset it with the pin if I’ve been using it 8 hours straight.

        I have a GameSir G4 and it’s trash, utterly awful input lag and the connection never worked correctly with any device other than Android either. Basically unusable without a cable, I’d never recommend their stuff.

          Huh. I always figured it was the emulators, but I never played anything that required precise inputs anyways so it wasn’t that much of a problem when you’re playing xenogears
