Mainstream gamers preffer gamepads, so I can sadly see a day where alternative control methods, even on PC, are considered a luxury.

really ? somehow of all the guys I know just a handful are using gamepads and even then only for specific games ... any statistics to back this up ?

just wondering mind you... I'm not trying to put up a fight or anything ;)

I only use a gamepad on my PC for GRID and Street Fighter IV

Otherwise KB+M

I also hardly ever play either of those games either so the 360 controller is gathering dust...

I'm talking gaming as a whole. The vast majority of gamers use gamepads...

Yes. My entire point really is that the mainstream casual gamer will rule the mainstream corporate game industry more and more as time goes on. The Ubisofts, the EAs... the Infinity Wards. They are spending so much money and so focused on the mass market that they will bend to their whims and design around them, hence matchmaking, hence quest arrows, hence gamepads and menus designed for them. I can definately see these guys porting a game someday that requires a pad... hell, Resident Evil 4 already did, really.

We need to look elsewhere for niche products, the main gaming houses are no longer interested. Luckily on PC we have endless indie options and abilities.

Buy our game if you want to play it! Why give a demo when you could just have people buy it instead?!

In their defense, I am sure people can use the original as a basis for deciding if they want the very similar sequel.
