Do the Arma 3 developers hate controller users?

i cant think of any other possible reason why they wont allow certain common sense options to the control scheme that would make using this game with a controller much easier.. something that couldnt take much time or effort at all to implement, but it seems like they couldnt care less about it... they brag and boast about how many different functions they have, claiming it requires you to use a keyboard but when you look through those functions, about half of them are duplicates anyway, one being a hold to activate, others being toggles of the same thing



but this isnt the stuff that really annoys me.. its little, simpler things they could have done but were evidently too lazy to do so.. ill give some examples



one example.. is half of what you would apply to infantry, vehicle, helicopter, or airplane movement gets coppied over to the other control setup.. you cant even independantly choose the fire weapon button for a different type of vehicle.. it all HAS to be the same.. so you cant use your analog sticks for throttle control of a vehicle while still using those sticks to fire your guns outside of a vehicle.. airplanes and helicopters have almost the same control scheme, you change something on one, it changes on the other as well, so you cant use the right thumbstick for pitch and rudder control for a helicopter without being forced to use that same setup on the other type of aircraft



it makes me wonder if they actually purposely make it for keyboard only?.. as if theyre mouse/keyboard elitists?.. im guessing their game WONT be ported to the steam box either for that same reason
