As a lefty, game devs need to stop assuming we grew up using some weird lefty backwards controllers.

Discussion

Just a simple rant that drives me nuts in some games. I’m a lefty. Theres often a toggle for dominant hand. Some games do it right by using that option and then a separate toggle for which hand moves and which hand turns.

However so many games when you set it to left hand dominant swaps the analog sticks for movement so it’s the opposite of every controller scheme on every game ever made.

I just want to hold a gun and shoot with my left hand I don’t want to reverse how I move. It’s not that difficult.
