I hate built-in obsolescence, it signals so much that is wrong with modern manufacturing.
Isn't it likely that people will create interfaces that you can attach older controllers to, or is there no market for that/no sufficiently popular controllers that would make creating specific interfaces worthwhile?
Oliver Schick-
I’m not sure it will be possible as controllers are all wireless which means Sony controls the connection via Bluetooth / WiFi and the console software.
@Sumo of course. No one is making a decision based just on that but it’s another example of their distain for customers in general.
Nintendo are guilty of it too imo, though not quite to the same degree.

Right.
So during a global pandemic, with rising costs of literally everything, and a second recession in 12 years, not to mention a climate crisis, we should accept the inability to use peripherals that would be super easy to make work and only aren’t being made to work because the company wants to make a load of money on high markup plastic because that’s the way it’s always been?
I’m sold.
