What´s the problem with controllers?

In short words, they´re expensive and break easily. But to be honest this is nothing new and not restricted to one console, it seems with every new console the controllers are more fragile and more expensive. Which makes you wonder why, because for the price of a new controller you can buy a new game these days!


So what should be done about this controller problem?


First of all you should get two and not one controller when you buy a new console, because a lot of people have friends and/or family with whom they play games. So it sucks that you have to buy the second controller next to the console, which is a fucking rip off! In the early Nintendo days you got a second controller with your console, so what happened to that? Oh right more money, it´s always about money isn´t it?


So if you have to buy a second controller then it´s nice that this controller isn´t too expensive, because it´s a shame if you spend so much money on a controller while you could´ve bought a new game. But if sucks when you have to tell your friend or family member that he or she can´t play because a second controller is just too expensive. Which means sharing one controller and that never leads to problems, oh wait it does...


If you´re willing to pay that much money for a controller then you expect something good, unfortunately controllers are made of some weak shit that falls apart by the slightest touch. Well maybe that´s not completely true but they´re not strong, if you drop your controller, by accident, then it sucks when it´s already broken. Especially the triggers on top can´t handle too much force, which means pressing them with too much force can already fuck them up. Seems a bit weird for something that´s worth so much money.


I´m not asking for much am I? A controller that isn´t expensive and that can actually last longer than a week, especially looking at how you´re expected to play these days with a lot of button pressing and use of the triggers (first person shooters usually make a lot of the triggers). It would also be nice that when you lose your shit that your controller can take a hit and not fall apart at the first sign of force used on the controller. Perhaps it´s even better if you get a second controller when you buy a new console, it´s not like people in the game industry don´t earn enough from consoles and games that they desperately need more money for controllers.
