Blunt question I know but this is something I found a bit hilarious and baffling because I'm someone that's fairly adaptable as a gamer and for the most part I'm not that bothered about keybindings these days and being able to rebind them. Some people seem to get really bothered about it though and I was seeing on places like steam some absolute sperg sessions about it.
Do you care about this sort of thing? If the layout is pretty normal with WASD and such I don't understand why people would care that much so I'm trying to go out of my way to understand. One repeating trend I saw weirdly was left handed people complaining about it. My argument is this, there's only so many ways one can rebind the keys when it comes to shortcuts, so I can understand doing it for certain actions, but otherwise it seems silly.
It makes a lot of sense to be able to map them if you are playing something like a shooter with special abilities or even an mmo or moba and you have a mouse with many buttons. You want to map those to different abilities. I also liked to be able to map those G1-G6 buttons on my old keyboard, but I've not used that in a long time.
What games are people complaining about?
I noticed it a bit all over the place on steam but it didn't really make much sense, some of the keybinds we're talking about were extremely standard WASD setups with minimal keybinds. Which makes me wonder if these complaints are legit or just weirdos on steam looking for something to complain about and biases me even more against that community.
