Director’s Take: Addressing Unapproved Peripherals on Consoles

you mean taking a pcmr esports goty into a mobile google play party game is fantastic for the game?

thank god ur not a gamer.

that’s literal XIM.

i would also love fairplay lobbies. thankfully fairplay > ur thumbs

let us opt-out of anti-XIM so we can get back to gaming by/for actual gamers who put in the work aiming and susing out sub-10ms response time gaps.

There’s no such thing my friend!

On PC there’s a wide range of hardware peripherals with some players on 500 hz and some players on 60 hz!

Some players on a generic laptop keyboard while others use the latest Razer snap-tap 1ms mechanical!

PC is an inherently “unfair” platform in that sense since not everybody is on equal footing!

sure but the network/platform/periphs are identical.

XIM KBM created uproar for years in console lobbies. and that is using same platform/network. it is ongoing anti-gamer and studios are letting them opt-out.

we can’t have double standards. the pcmr crowd (which is the most gaming of the crowd btw) really need an opt-out of reverse-XIM lobbies for there to be any -even a delusion- of fairness.

just let people choose! democratize the gaming!

They are?
Since when do we get to opt out of XIM
lobbies?
I’ll give you a hint;
NEVER

good. so you’re all for adding in an opt-out for both sides.

crossplay has no place in FPS gaming where any sort of movement tech, aim, or platform/network latency is a context.

It isn’t an “opt-in” thing, we don’t choose to not have XIMs lmao

right.

so just let everyone opt-out.
it’s like 2 hours dev time to code in that toggle.
no1 needs to watch some bald guy bring the entire lobby down (or up) with their thumbs + all kinds of software bloat to pad in the gaps.
every1 wins always everywhere 4 every1.

no more DEI garbage bloating ur software stack.
