"Sony implemented technical measures in 2015 to combat counterfeiting, which inadvertently affected the proper functioning of third-party controllers, making them disconnect during system updates."






What's the difference??
One is and has been found criminal

Niether are officially supported outside of playstation in the way other controllers are.

The topic of the lawsuit is sony having policy that’s detrimental to the consumer experince. I had a bad experience so i talked about it.

Again, you are only arguing with me cause you want to defend sony.
Funny, because sony has a page on their official website with instructions on how to pair with other devices, but you claim they aren't supported.

The PS4 page says nothing about PC support.

My posts in this thread are about the PS4 controller. Which as far as i understand never got official pc support.

Furthermore my problem with the controllers is that they don’t work between playstation consoles themselves.

You decided to harp on this PC topic cause you wanted to argue with me instead of just admitting theres some merit to the criticism to sony’s policies.

You sony stan’s really got issues :huhldup:

You're trying to argue about official xbox controllers compared to playstation controllers. The topic of the thread was never about official controllers, it's about 3rd party controllers and Sony removing compatibility for them just like Microsoft did.

It can only be hooked up via usb like any generic controller, but it never really got full support where you could expect playstation prompts in most games.

The whole point is that they limit 3rd party controllers so the official ones are more expensive.

Why do you think PS4 controllers cost more than PS5. Series X and Xbox controllers right now?

Why are you doing this :why:

Like even if xbox is the same, that doesn’t make it ok and they didn’t get sued. What’s your problem??

They limited the 3rd party controller support because they wanted them to go through the official playstation licensing process, JUST LIKE MICROSOFT DID LAST MONTH.

:why:

The lawsuit claims they aren’t supportive or responsive to 3rd parties effectively locking them out.

In comparison microsoft has been working with 3rd parties to make sure they still have a place.

Again, not sure why you want to argue with me about microsft,

If you’ve had a bad experience with their controller policies and they get sued about it, make a thread about it :cheers:
