Microsoft starts blocking ‘unauthorized’ Xbox controllers and accessories - The Verge

That sucks. The controller that came with my Xbox S randomly developed stick drift so bad it was trashed. I got maybe 10 hours of use out of it.

I bought a third party controller with digital stick encoders to prevent the problem because Microsoft refuses to fix their controller design.

Oh well guess I'm disabling console updates now

NOOOO MY MADCATZ

Great, so now we will have to deal with substandard devices that we cannot change, and that Microsoft refuses to fix.
