    You mean the one that was released in 2015, and they stopped selling in 2019, then continued to support for at least four more years?

    That’s the one?

    And we compare that to what? Can I get support on my Xbox 360 wireless controllers still? How about my dual shock controller for a PS3? Google surely still updates the stadia controller, right? They didn’t give up on it less than a year after the stadia service was taken down… Right?

    With the exception of maybe 8bitdo or something, their support for that controller was extremely good, and the fact that they made it 10 years ago, and stopped selling it 6 years ago, but only stopped supporting it 2 years ago, that’s pretty good, IMO.

      I mean those are idiotic comparisons. I can purchase a gaming system from the '70s and still play it without having to update a controller or do anything like that. I can pull out my PS1 PS2 or PS3 and have them work 100% fine with no issues. I can pull out my original Xbox with no problems. Because they don’t require constant updating configuring or fiddling with because they just work. And talking about Google anything being supported is just dumb. Hell they don’t even support their own products beyond a couple years regardless of anything. I don’t know why you’re so upset about these facts but facts are what they are. Hell they’ve been promising a steam 2 controller since I think 2017 or something like that just like Half-Life 3.
