Speaking with IGN, disabled players explored how Xbox's changes to third-party accessory allownace will impact their setups, the overall cost of their equipment, as well as money lost, and the ways in which the community is reacting.
I think there will be some changes made the the policy if accessory developers can show that what they make is safe and secure. I’m pretty sure this is all being done to clamp down on cheating from using devices that allow you to use a M&KB, or devices that could be used for network manipulation/save manipulation. It seems like they didn’t really think it out fully, and probably assumed most disabled players use the XAC.
Then the companies should pay for the licensing and testing? It’s unfortunate for sure but it does make some sense, and I highly doubt that they knew every single combination of peripherals that’s people were using to overcome disabilities on Xbox. Especially since some of them are for older consoles/pc as the article suggests.
That’s what they want, MS doesn’t like you can make your own controller and they don’t get any cut, it even costs them a sale on a peripheral if you can make your own. Especially now they have their own adaptive ecosystem.
There won’t be any changes, this was done for the specific reason of removing those devices so they need to pay to allow their customers to use them again, or MS gets people buying theirs.
I mean, obviously they would want people buying controllers for THEIR system to use THEIR controllers. And they have had their own adaptive ecosystem for years now, to the point that it is considered the best adaptive controller on the market. But it seems impossible to even have a discussion with you so have fun being angry.
That was not a discussion lol that was you shutting down any opposing idea because you seemed to know better. Don’t yell at people and not listen to them and then say ‘ I thought this was a discussion’. You didn’t really refute anything other than saying MS wants money over and over.
Because that’s what they want? What else would it be? This isn’t something that beneficial for the community no how you attempt to swing it.
I’m not yelling, I’m correcting someone who is attempting to defend a volatile decision. But if that’s what you want to assume, clearly you never came here in good faith either, goes both ways.
Whenever someone proof of their idea is ‘why else?’ they aren’t trying to have a discussion because they already stated that they have no intention of looking at other opinions. You are making just as much if not more assumptions.
And I made a comment on the post, you replied to my comment. The both ways argument doesn’t really fit here.

They did think it out, it all equals money in their pocket since they get licensing fee or a cut from sales now.

Pardon? No other manufacturer has made a decision to lock out third party controllers until now.
We are having a discussion, no? You’ve made some points, that aren’t entirely correct and I’ve politely explained why that isn’t true necessarily.
Of course people don’t like having their assumptions pointed out as incorrect, sorry.
