    According to SteamDB less than 21k games have “controller” as a feature. There’s 488k in total. I think it’s pretty safe to say that most are KB and Mouse focused.

        As I commented elsewhere. Do you honestly think even 1/4 of the games on steam even support controller?

        Not even getting into just technically working with controller vs on par with kb/m vs actually better than kb/m. Just functions enough to play the game. It’s pretty safe to say the vast majority of games on steam do not work well with controllers.

      This is disingenuous. Of those 488k, how many are actually playable games? How many of each genre are represented? How many per genre have controller support? Again, it really comes down to library and genre preferences.

      What doesn’t change is that keyboards are generally incapable of analog input, and some genres of games explicitly require analog input.

        Even if only 1/4 of them are playable games that’s still 20x the amount of games that support controller. Your personal preference does not affect the vast majority of games on steam don’t support controller.

            SteamDB doesn’t give you total number of all games, so there’s no way to get that info without directly asking them to run the query. But even if they did I doubt you’d accept the answer anyways because I don’t think you’re interest in talking about this in good faith.

              Literally was my point two comments above.

                Even without those numbers do you even think 1/4 of games support controllers? Not works well enough with controllers, not works better with controllers, just works to a degree with controllers?

                It’s pretty safe to say the vast majority of games aren’t fit for controllers.
