FAQ: Yes, We Support Kinect
Q: …This game supports Kinect?
Yes!.On PC only, if you plug iri a Kinect 2.0 to-your computer while the game is:apen, you-tan play through the entirety of the game using Kinect controls. Grab meat with your meat harids! Your body is the controller! We live in the future. Good luck.
Q:Is Kinect the optirnal way to play Space Warlord Organ Tradirig Simulator? Absolutely not.
Q: Why would | play a fast-paced reflex-based economic tycoon using Kinect?
| have no earthly idea, but | am personally sending the first person to direct message me documented proof of using a Kinect to play through the entirety of the campaign, (reaching the “The Top 0.1%” reputation level) a $50 Steam gift card. Primarily so I can. meet the kind of person who would do that to themselves, and plead with them for mercy lest they destroy us all.
Q: How did you put Kinect support into a game in 20217
| work with a brilliant, slightly unhinged creative programmer named Sam Chiet,. and one day, at 3 AM, | blearily opened my phone to find a video.of the game working with full functionality on a Kinect. And a tablet. And a Wiimote. You know, for the Nintendo Wii (2007).
He apparently did ail of those experiments in one night just because he cold, and Has since dedicated a large portion of his time to single-handedly becoming the final Kinect developer. | decided the safest option was to stay out of his way.
Q: Why did you put Kinect support into a game in 2021? | embrace the Sun with arms outstretched so that my oblivion will be. one og my own choosing.
I feel only slightly less ridiculous asking for Steam Controller support in games 😆 But I will keep asking because I fucking love that controller.
For real. I’m dreading the day mine stops working. It’s taken some drops over the years but it’s still going strong. Legit one of the best controllers ever made. I will absolutely die on this hill.
If they didn’t cost around 120+$ I’d have bought another 3. Instead I just have to buy more Steam Decks :(.
I think they were $5 when they were getting rid of them. Steam links were at least.
I just wish the cap on the stick lasted longer. That rubber dome wore down very fast for me on both of mine.
I bought one when they first came out, and one when they did the $5 liquidation sale when they were discontinued. I wish I’d bought more, just to be safe.
Oh shoot why were they discontinued?
Lack of sales IIRC. They’re very neat but kind of niche because of their non-standard layout, they were aiming to be a keyboard/mouse replacement instead of “just another controller”. Extremely customizable control schemes too.
Would absolutely love a 2.0 one based off the Steam Deck or something.
I seem to recall a statement made by Gabe that the very conventional control layout of the Steam Deck is in reaction to feedback they got about the Steam Controller, that it needed to have zero learning curve
Man, I miss mine so much
