The Daily Grind: Do you want controller support in MMOs?

Controlling.

It was a big deal when World of Warcraft added some actual controller support to the game back with the Shadowlands launch… or at least, I thought so. From an accessibility standpoint, it seemed like a great idea because for some people controllers are easier to use than a mouse and keyboard, and I’m always in favor of a game giving people more options and new methods for controlling the game. That’s a good thing.

But is it a thing that other people wanted?

Speaking personally, I far prefer playing with a mouse and keyboard in the vast majority of games period and MMOs in particular, so having support for the controller is something I regard as a good thing but not something of immediate personal relevance. Where do you stand on it? Do you want controller support in MMOs, or is it a feature that generally doesn’t have much to do with how you prefer to play the game?

Every morning, the Massively Overpowered writers team up with mascot Mo to ask MMORPG players pointed questions about the massively multiplayer online roleplaying genre. Grab a mug of your preferred beverage and take a stab at answering the question posed in today’s Daily Grind!
