Xims on console
People on console using keyboard and mouse need to be addressed, this is remotely the same problem as aim bots on pc.

@RevenanT-G7here's an actual non biased, well written article that research was actually put in

OF course the CEO, Developer or the PR Guy of the XIM would say that to protect, sell and make a profit of his device. what company wouldn't stand behind their product ?
This is a very one sided article where for the majority of the article it's about the CEO / president, developer whatever he is of the product XIM defending it's product.
Even Blizzard has said, and I quote: "However, we have put serious research and development against this problem and we're hoping to have a solution to what we consider to be unfair circumstances. This is a priority for us and we're trying to combat this through technology and policy."
It's up to the Developer to decide what is fair and not. Not the CEO of the device on console. It is known since the Atari day's [even before] Home consoles are to be played with a Controller not a KB+M.
If the Companies of these console would wanted a KB+M they would have made them that way.
@RevenanT-G7 it's just a good article that gives both sides point of view vs one basement dwellers opinion with an agenda.
That being said, if Respawn somehow succeeds where bigger developers have failed, they will run the risk of punishing those using other devices that aren't m&k and the bad PR they alone will earn from preventing those with disabilities from being able to play the only way they can.

Exactly what disability does someone have that does not allow them to use a controller but does allow them to use a mouse and keyboard? That makes zero sense.
If you can't grasp a controller how are you grasping the mouse? How are you accurately moving it? How are you spreading out your fingers for the wasd keys and reaching for the keys around them accurately for weapon changes etc?
The disability that allows you to do all this but not use a controller must be a very specific one....and surely cannot be wide spread.
- @BA2VGT Very specific and not widespread, but very common. RSI. Played with one guy once who had nerve damage in his right hand meaning he couldn't deal with aiming using his right thumb.
It's only an 'excuse' if someone is not acting in good faith. It would be a shame if people who have difficulties end up being collateral damage of a Xim purge. - @BA2VGT Wow hope you never have a child with disabilities....

A missing thumb or index finger for example. And you're right, it's not widespread, but for the few who need it it's allowed.
- @Wingmannedbro The day Respawn segregates disabled players to only play against one another in m&k lobbies, is the day EA stock prices tank and will be at an all time low.
The safest thing to is make it native for everyone, so everyone has a choice to how they want to play and avoid a PR nightmare.
