The fact that it looks like World of Warcraft will get some sort of controller support is a piece of news that fills me with complex emotions. In some ways, it doesn’t matter a whole lot to me. While I’m somewhat excited to have a new option for how to play the game, years of familiarity with the existing setup might prevent me from making a switch in the first place.
But you know what game I wish did have controller support? Diablo III. I’ve always hated the clicking control style of the original game and its ilk, and that’s the biggest thing that’s turned me off from the titles. There is the game’s console version, though, and if the controller support from there were available on PCs, I’d probably have given the game a shot by now.
Of course, some people really dislike having controller options. Sometimes it’s because the inclusion leads to what people see as simplified control schemes meant to account for fewer buttons; other times, it’s just a matter of not liking other people having the option. So, do you want controller support for your PC MMOs? Or do you not even care either way?
