While the developers and hardware manufacturers point fingers at each other, the people who buy the game and pay to play online have to deal with these cheaters.
It's not cheating at all, though, as I said before. Blizzard may consider it as such, but neither Sony nor MS see it as cheating, and for good reason. It's like Capcom asking for a ban on arcade stick usage on consoles because it can give Street Fighter players an advantage over those who use a controller. It's like the Project Cars devs asking for a ban on racing wheels because it gives players an advantage over those who use controllers. It's like Namco asking for a ban on flight sticks on consoles because it gives Ace Combat 7 players and advantage in dogfights.
Everyone who complains has the option to go out and buy a XIM adapter + mouse/kb, a Scuf/Elite controller, an arcade stick, a racing wheel, and a HOTAS flight stick. If one considers it an unfair advantage, the option to even out the odds exists. Accessibility is a great thing, and options should never be taken away from consumers.
Heck,
Sony sells an officially licensed product that does exactly what the XIM adapter does, just as there are officially licensed arcade sticks, racing wheels, and flight sticks. These are all peripherals.
What's next? VR players have an advantage in Wipeout multiplayer against non-VR players because they have head-tracked camera control? :lol:
No one's stopping non-VR players from getting a psvr if they feel that way.
Here's what your favorite Jim Sterling had to say about the use of PS Move in Killzone 3 on ps3:
Sounds good to me. While they're at it, let's get a patch to keep PlayStation Move users on their own server. Using that thing is more or less cheating, really.
