You know why I played the games on yuzu? It’s because the joycons suck and they are expensive to replace.

I did the stick drift repair on my own, but the L and R buttons are soldiered to the main board so it can’t be repaired.

I bought a right joycon on its own and then the next week the left joycon had the same issue.

I wasn’t going to spend about $90 for an unreliable controller when an entire steamdeck costs $500.

It really paints the picture that the controllers are way over priced how can they alone be 20% the cost of the entire steamdeck.

If Nintendo made decent joycons, then I would not be using Yuzu.

Additionally, I dumped my own games and keys, so they got their money and through some effort, I got a better experience.

I’d like to add that the joycons were not heavily used either.

Joycon drift is the main reason why I stopped playing my switch.

Why didn't you just get a better controller? You would have saved yourself a lot of time, effort, and probably money.

I’m not in the US, so the options I had here were either expensive or didn’t have any reviews.

I’ve been wanting a steamdeck for some time and that is what pushed me to get one.

A lot of modern controllers are really ass tbh. I still use a wired usb xbox 360 controller. Doesn't work on Switch without modding/hacking/emulating.

I'm also in the "my USB Xbox 360 controller is great" camp and wish that they still made them

You are stuck two decades ago in time. There are plenty of good to great controllers. Shit, there's multiplatform controllers that work perfectly and have all the bells and whistles and gyros that first party controllers have.

[–] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

True, I bet there good ones out there, but I have no need to replace it yet.

But you'll complain about using twenty year old technology anyways, and make up nonsense about current tech. Ok.

[–] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I'm complaining about manufacturers cheaping out, not the age of the tech I'm using.

[–] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 2 points 8 months ago

But you are wrong. A lot of modern controllers are not ass. The Switch controllers are. That's it.

Your situation is not applicable to why the lawsuit exists.

It's the idiots that pirated and leaked TOTK a week before the release date that gave Nintendo ammunition for this case. As a result, everybody who is using Yuzu legitimately will suffer for it.

[–] M500@lemmy.ml 17 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Yuzu did not pirate the game. Other people did. What did Yuzu do that was illegal?

Did the movie studies sue dvd player makers because people ran pirated movies on them?
