        Speak for your self. The console community has been complaining about FPS games lacking keyboard/mouse support for a decade.
        Main reason developers haven't done this seems to be that don't want to take time away from development from the controller based command structure of the game.
        Also, that console lacked the support. But this excuse is a little thin because the PlayStation 3 has had native keyboard/mouse driver/controller support sense the original Dev-kits and first consoles launched.
        
        Its issue is more about the developers see things as PC and Consoles are different. But falling to see that the Game a users is plaything maybe the same and users want that same controls regardless of the device there using.
