    Ok so I am one of the main guys behind this campaign on the 2K forum. As I have said over there, and I have now decided to join y'all. This is not about what is better, but rather comfort. I bought a laptop for school. I decided to get one that could play games. My original intention was for SimTower and old classics like that. Point and Click games. Then I found out that a lot of pc games support gamepads. So I bought my laptop and Bioshock 1. I then proceeded to get other games based on that, Fallout 3, Gears of War, Batman, even Viva Pinata (the $10 price tag helped on that one as well) I am too uncoordinated to use m&kb. Sadly I am. I wish it wasn't the case, but it is. I just want to be able to enjoy this great game with all of you. I want my comfort and enjoyment to be the same as yours. Your great with kb&m? Awesome Im glad you are. Im great with gamepad. I just want the same support for my preference. I can't afford to buy another console. Besides this was supposed to my new gaming system. Which is gamepad support keeps getting left out, Im kinda screwed. I know I should have looked into the controller support earlier then after installing it and going to the options. But I assumed it would have it based on GFWL and the fact the previous one had it as well. I was wrong. Im hoping for a patch. Im not asking them to remove the m&kb controls or not fix them or whatever. I just want us to play side by side. Thank you for you time.
