Tfw controllers are going to get more and more expensive

>tfw controllers are going to get more and more expensive

Why can't they have a baseline, cheaper model and a more expensive option with all the bells and whistles?

> tfw still has symmetrical sticks
Oof. Better luck in 7 years Snoys

it's not going to be as expensive as the switch controllers

I would never buy one if it had asymmetrical sticks.

nice try scissorhands

just buy some cheap unlicensed third party controller if you don't care about quality

Because the entire point of consoles is having the console itself be reasonably cheap while everything else is unfathomably expensive

The games are $60 (plus DLC and season passes and microtransactions,) you have to pay $15/mo to use your Internet connection for the games, the controllers are Chinese injection molded garbage that costs $5 to make and is sold for exorbitant prices, etc.

This is the nature of playing games on a platform designed for children who have no concept of money or budgeting or what things are actually worth.

Microsoft does this already

The main issue is that all the feature Sony add in makes their controllers worse. For the first time in 2 decades I can't see myself going Sony again.

These controllers aren't expensive to produce. They sell them at a premium to recoup hardware cost. Even if they cut all the "expensive features", they're still going to hike the price on your stupid ass.

This is also why people will parrot the opinion about consoles having far more efficient hardware. It is more efficient than your ordinary PC sure. But a lot of it has to do with the fact that they are selling them piss cheap. And for a reason. Because if you do not have a console how could you consume the rest of the products related to it? It is merely just a vehicle. Meanwhile on PC they are not being sold in hopes of users buying X amount of video games.

i pay $0

for multiplayer games its like $5-$20 usually, depending on how much keys are going for

lmao @ paypigs

I don't envy children of today
When I was a kid, an official PS2 controller was 25 dollars and back then I still had to opt for the third-party shit
Nowadays the official stuff is 60 dollars and the only affordable option feels like crap

meanwhile the best mouse in PC gaming costs $40

>play pc
>get every game for free
Nice try, consolecuck.

does sony games even have dlc and microtransactions? every of their game ive played doesn't have any of those.

No FUCK YOU. why can’t we have a controller with paddles already? And I don’t mean the elite I mean having two actual extra inputs

Parents are willing to spend more money on games for their children now though

That layout is great for platformers.

Because that's retarded and it's a good thing you aren't dictating what happens in the gaming industry.
No one uses the "bells and whistles" if they aren't baseline.

games actually get discounted on PC around the same time the console version does. however, PC has sales more frequently.

Why is it shaped like cunny?

Name one example of that pc game.

Too small.

Why, because your left thumb looks like this?

Because people are willing to pay it.
Seriously, I'm still using my $30 360 gamepad. I'm not willing to pay more than that, so I hope it'll last.

What are you even talking about?
Go to "cdkeys.com", even the games that have not yet released are 20-50% cheaper than on retailer websites. every game that is 6 months old or even older are like 80% off.
Only retards pay full price from somewhere like steam. If you wish to pay full price for a game, at least purchase it from GOG so you actually own the copy.

>console games sold for $60+tax
>meanwhile pc games get around a 10% discount on release on legitimate key sites with no tax
based retard

This is true actually.

The consoles themselves are sold at a loss, because once someone has a console they're gonna buy the games which make all the actual money. (t. uncle who actually used to work at microsoft)

>uncharted coins

You haven't used your console for years, have you?
