I was tired of spending ~$70 on cheaply made controllers that break so quickly, so I invested in a quality controller that will last, which it has.

    It's not just a fancy design on an otherwise standard controller, so it's kind of different from what I assume you think it is. It's for accessibility, not flair.
    None of which changes Valkyrie's original point. A good many people will still call that a waste of money no matter how you describe it because, at the end of the day, it's a luxury item with subjective value. You're defending your purchase while mocking someone else's.

    ....A luxury item with subjective value? I have arthritis. It's literally because I have a chronic illness, and the stock PS4 controller hurts my hands because of the placement of the left analog stick, among other things. Why are you getting so angry at someone for explaining that they spent the same amount on a controller for disability reasons that someone is whining about having to spend to get an emote. I don't care if people spend that much on the statue as a collector's item, that's their choice, and I'm not "mocking" it. I'm mocking people that whine that other people have an expensive emote that they want.

    Boy, people on the forums here really like to twist things. You're really good at it. Imagine saying accessibility is a waste of money and a "luxury".

    In a world where accessibility to medicine is a luxury, you want to argue that accessibility to videos games isn't? Really?

    Maybe accessibility to medicine shouldn't be a luxury either.

    It shouldn't but does not change the fact that it is.
