I hear good things about what they did for AoE2 on controller, and the genre was long overdue for someone to solve that problem. I’ve got some hand and wrist issues these days after working at a computer for so many years, and I’ll always prefer a controller when possible.
MMOs surprisingly have a strong controller play base mainly thanks to FFXIV. Considering it’s WoW’s strongest competitor, a controller layout is a solid idea
Because its fun even if the input method isnt perfect. Specially so for casual gamers. Both ports for age of empires play really well on console and I suppose age of mythology will be just as great.
I mean, besides FFXIV’s famous layout, I think it’s not so unreasonable to attach a keyboard to a console for things like chat or the game interface. A few Xbox games even do just that.
Of course, no game can require a keyboard plugged in to play. But given the age of Guitar Hero attachments, a few extras make sense.

The first two are awful for a console. Why would you want to play wow or an RTS with a controller?

I prefer ffxiv with controller. They really nailed the experience.

Keyboards need a desktop though, which isn’t really common for most console locations.
FFXIV works really well on console and that’s a full MMO
I’m clean now but back when I played WoW people said there was a mod that gave really good controller support. Its very popular on the steam deck.
Same for Microsoft flight simulator. Why the hell are they putting that on a console?
