Speaking with IGN, disabled players explored how Xbox's changes to third-party accessory allownace will impact their setups, the overall cost of their equipment, as well as money lost, and the ways in which the community is reacting.
Then the companies should pay for the licensing and testing? It’s unfortunate for sure but it does make some sense, and I highly doubt that they knew every single combination of peripherals that’s people were using to overcome disabilities on Xbox. Especially since some of them are for older consoles/pc as the article suggests.
That’s what they want, MS doesn’t like you can make your own controller and they don’t get any cut, it even costs them a sale on a peripheral if you can make your own. Especially now they have their own adaptive ecosystem.
There won’t be any changes, this was done for the specific reason of removing those devices so they need to pay to allow their customers to use them again, or MS gets people buying theirs.
I mean, obviously they would want people buying controllers for THEIR system to use THEIR controllers. And they have had their own adaptive ecosystem for years now, to the point that it is considered the best adaptive controller on the market. But it seems impossible to even have a discussion with you so have fun being angry.
That was not a discussion lol that was you shutting down any opposing idea because you seemed to know better. Don’t yell at people and not listen to them and then say ‘ I thought this was a discussion’. You didn’t really refute anything other than saying MS wants money over and over.
Because that’s what they want? What else would it be? This isn’t something that beneficial for the community no how you attempt to swing it.
I’m not yelling, I’m correcting someone who is attempting to defend a volatile decision. But if that’s what you want to assume, clearly you never came here in good faith either, goes both ways.
Whenever someone proof of their idea is ‘why else?’ they aren’t trying to have a discussion because they already stated that they have no intention of looking at other opinions. You are making just as much if not more assumptions.
And I made a comment on the post, you replied to my comment. The both ways argument doesn’t really fit here.
We were having a discussion before that phrase and since you’ve pointed out we weren’t I stopped. So to call that out after is extremely disingenuous… however….all I wanted was to see how you came to the conclusion that this was an error on Microsoft’s part, when part of their policy is to allow ONLY first party devices.
That means ones that have paid a fee and gotten their stuff tested. They’ve told you their intentions, and you want to claim I’m making it up? Good lord read some articles about this before spouting your opinion maybe if that’s the case.
You made a comment in a public forum, people responding and wanting to have discussions go hand in hand…. Or why else would you be commenting…? To be heard by others but not wanting to listen back? Yeah that’s coming in with good faith lmfao.

Pardon? No other manufacturer has made a decision to lock out third party controllers until now.
We are having a discussion, no? You’ve made some points, that aren’t entirely correct and I’ve politely explained why that isn’t true necessarily.
Of course people don’t like having their assumptions pointed out as incorrect, sorry.

Hey there, @[email protected] and @[email protected]!
As a mod around here, could you please drop this conversation. It is clear that this is going nowhere at this point and it will only escalate further.
Thank you!
