pandarisuIf it’s to stop cheaters, they could just block the “unauthorised” controllers from online play, no need to punish offline players
Draconic NEOIt’s why I don’t really think that their main goal is to block cheating, it seems more likely they’re doing it to enforce controller exclusivity to get people to pay more for licensed first or second party controllers.
Cheat devices don’t care, they’ll easily find ways around it, even if it involves copyright or trademark infringement.
