I don’t know why this article is written as if crunch culture ever stopped being a reality. It has been like this for decades, and it shows no signs of stopping, despite all the criticism (and the only way of stopping it is unionizing, as many here have already said).
It looks like a Madkatz controller, you’re right, but it has some really cool features. The D-Pad and the right stick are replaced by two clickable touch surfaces, as to allow you a different type of control than just using two sticks. It also has an accelerometer and horoscope, which is also a nice thing to have when you want to aim in games almost as precisely as with a mouse. On top of that, there are also two extra buttons on the rear of the controller.
So what they are saying is “game companies are and should only be forced to do something if they promised the consumers the games would be playable forever”, am I right?
Turns out he calls it a laptop chip troughout the article, but that title makes zero sense with what the article is talking about. And it’s not like the article shows a lot of new information, it’s just like “oh, look, x86 emulation on ARM!” What a clickbait article.
Apparently this III initiative has its own Bilibili channel… I don’t know if this could be a clue for what kind of games they might be releasing or not…
