Wait? Console players feel like devs just copy the PC interface? Us PC players always feel like they copy the console interface and just slap a cursor on it. Buttons are huge, excessive amount of tabs, very few things visible at any time, etc. Oh and those "wheels" ugh.
Both things happen. It depends on what the game was originally designed for.
I don’t think Hogwarts Legacy was designed for PC primarily and it’s full of cursor control on console.
But it also limits me to 4 spells at any given time even on PC, instead of giving me a bigger hotbar. So I guess devs just make middle-of-the-road interfaces that don't please anyone these days.
