Just don't use the controller then. Everyone is aware that not everyone wants to play first person shooters with a controller. That's why its an option. This is a single player gamer where you can play as you wish, without affecting others. So what's the problem? Developers give more option, that is the opposite of awful.

I personally play some FPS with game controller, especially single player ones. And since the Steam Deck and Steam Controller playing around with gyro and trackpads is super fun.

    Again, Awful. I find it awful. Horrible way to play FPS games. Especially half life. When it was converted to controller they even changed the levels to make it easier to do several things.

    But that is just like, my opinion, which is why I wrote it. Do whatever you like.

    Ever played it in VR? That section at the beginning is quite the sea sickness! Even though it too is horrible in its own way, its fun.

    And that's fine. I'm not saying your opinion is wrong. We just discuss. But saying its awful because they add a function others enjoy is not right in my opinion either. I mean I do not agree that playing FPS games with controller is horrible or awful, but it depends on the game and if its a campaign single or competitive multi player game. I actually want to try Half-Life with a gamepad out; it got native gamepad support for Steam Deck.
