Your imagination is somewhat lacking. This 'whiny' teenager is in fact 41. And has been playing computer games since you had program them into the computer yourself from the pages of 'Crash' or 'Your Sinclair'. As to experience I would hope someone as 'experienced' as your are would be more grown up as to tell a stranger to 'shut your mouth' from the safety of his room.
Ask any member of the CPM as to my age. They've all met me. Kevall is my Merc name in Dust. In Eve, I'm Dennie Fleetfoot. CEO of DUST University. So my experience I'd hope, is also somewhat larger than you might imagine.
As to all the communities you mentioned...
The racing community uses a force feedback steering wheel if they're serious about it, on both PC and console.
The fighting community use an arcade style control stick if they're serious about it, on both PC and console.
The flight sim community use a flight grip and throttle control if they're serious about it, on both PC and console.
The rhythm game community use dance mats and custom made instrument controllers if they're serious about it, on both PC and console.
Only the PC FPS, MMOG and RTS community use KB&M if they're serious about it. And usually overpriced custom ones at that.
So that's your absurd 'It's not just one community, it's all of them' nonsense blown from the water.
And did I not say that KB&M is a superior control system in my first post on this thread?
I use a KB&M when playing Eve. I use a KB&M when playing X-COM. I use it when I play Civ V. All on my PC. I use KB&M on those games because I don't need to make very fast and rapid movement and its more precise.
You'll notice that FPS games on the PC aren't on that list. Well, I play FPS games on consoles because the rapid movement I mentioned that is required for FPS, I'm unable to do using KB&M because of a physical disability that prevents me from doing so. Using a controller allows me to play them and as they game is build around that controller I don't have to worry about all the rather annoying hotkeys that plagues PC FPS games.
Its precisely because I'm forced to use a controller and consoles to play FPS that I appreciate that the superior KB&M option shouldn't be on Dust.
So I warn you now, accuse me again of, how did you put it, playing the victim card and using it as a scapegoat, when it is in fact a physical disability is what prevents me using KB&M in an FPS game, then the only person who is going to look foolish is you.
It'll also show you up as an insensitive a'hole whose opinion should be discounted as coming from such.
Thank you.
