I see that design as choosing a tool for the job then. Top down is pretty niche but a valid point, first and third prison shooters though most pc players are going to use a mouse and keyboard.

I remember there was some 3rd party controller where you could hot swap the position of the analog and dpad, I always thought that would be a bigger deal in terms of accessibility.

Idk. Proper analog movement is a pretty big deal nowadays, especially with third person games.

Mouse aim is still superior but honestly it’s getting better with controllers, gyro and tweakable dead zones/sensitivity really help.

I’m really happy that Sony and others are making accessible controllers that are highly customizable.
