Nobody going to mention that this is likely to stop people from using devices like xim to spoof a controller while using keyboard and mouse? I know that this will likely be worked around but I’m sure that workaround gives Microsoft legal standing to go after the manufacturer. Still doesn’t make this any less shitty for someone using a third party controller and not cheating with it though.
Great! So I can't use a hitbox on street fighter or my choice of racing/flight sim rig in games that aren't first person shooters because of a problem that affects a genre I'm not even playing.
What a great solution that's not far-reaching, extremely heavy handed, and has a great potential for Microsoft to milk customers and small businesses alike! /s
