I am a self professed gaming junkie. As such I need the proper tools for the job. Last year, the TSA (our friends at the airports) decided to break in two one of my primary tools: the joystick. It just so happens that this joystick isn’t made any more.
To make matters worse, the product in question is from Microsoft. By now everyone should know that Microsoft has more money than anyone, certainly more than the GDP of several industrial nations combined. So why is it that they took a successful product like their joysticks and discontinued them? My bet: they wanted to make it harder for me to play games. Not just anyone, but me specifically.
Guess its time to fire off an email to the guys in Redmond.
