Do they have to? With the way the law bends to corpos, the accused would have to prove no damages.

Yes, greed. Imagine spending $5 more per controller in manufacturing, and losing on the potential sales of replacement controllers. Sounds like a lose-lose from their point of view.

People are paying more for the brand. Most people don’t know about alternatives (non-gamer parents, richer people). And 3rd party controllers still have a bad rep. In a few years that might change, and then we will either see a price drop, or quality increase.

Patient gamers FTW
