I thought there was an adapter for using a playstation controller on
the pc?

more lame that on the 360 etc there's no multiplayer on the machine,
you have to play it against a person who has a copy of the game on
another machine. So, no lame really but greedy.

R* and MS have knowingly or otherwise made the shitty decision that ONLY
xbox controllers are supported in the code. i've looked, and the PS3
(and alternate) controllers are all coded for in there somewhere, but
just not supported.

so yes, my controller is plugged in to my PC via one of the adapter
doohickeys, but the current malignant R*/MS relationship has made my PS2
controller persona non grata (controller non grata?) bastards!

I think you can get sued to just about anything given long enough. My
main problem with the xbox ones is the triggers. games which need them
for major things are always harder for me.
