@Staffann game is on half price sale locally. Still not re-buying when there's zero communication regarding recognising joysticks. Hire the old people back who made it work last timeb, contract with them, whatever. At least acknowledge this isn't working as intended.
Consider it from an accessibility stand point at least - people who are disabled use custom controllers to play games, yet here we are all forced to emulate either Ps4 or xbox controllers for everything.
