Goat Simulator 3 (Epic Store Exclusive) devs solution for Gamepad support is to run game through Steam (among other things)

It's fun that Steam is the first solution given in the F.A.Q. wonder is it's something with the tongue in cheek humour used by the devs.

That's just how this shit used to be before steam controller. Having a 360 controller was so much easier most of the time, except for really old games that didn't support xinput, then your trigger buttons wouldn't work, whoops.

Yikes. Yea I've had a miserable experience with the Epic launcher too.

I downloaded Fortnite to check out the new update and I literally had to sign in to the launcher every single time I wanted to play the game. Which got so frustrating I just uninstalled the whole thing.

Reminds me of Tetris Effect being EGS exclusive but requiring SteamVR for the VR functionality.

How does a PC release of a game that has an official console version, no controller support? How is this explainable or excusable?

it only has support for xinput controllers (so xbox gamepads and a few select others)
no support for direct input (like dualshock), which is something steam can handle without the developer having to implement it themself

Oh ok, the OT sounded like no controller support at all, well, it's at least something I guess? 😅
