It's a commonly accepted belief that Keyboard+Mouse is exponentially superior to console controllers -- nm - Beryllium Mar 15, 10:33 19
- (The real reason is probably that each platform is rather insular and doesn't want to reach out and potentially give help to another platform) -- nm - Beryllium Mar 15, 10:34 10
  - It surprises me that game makers of cross-platform titles don't do this though -- nm - oblique Mar 15, 10:37 9

    - Well, why don't you go ask them why, then? They're the ones who know. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 15, 10:40 6

        This would be pimpalicious, but I figure I'll get an Androidy phone before Bery has time to do it. :) - TFox Mar 15, 10:43 3
        
        ST is excellent on my Androidy phone. Ika sucks, though. -- nm - mara Mar 15, 10:51

        No, but I've been mulling the idea over. It'll get done eventually. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 15, 10:41

        I bought the GSO specifically for CIV IV so you can see how my gaming is driven :) -- nm - oblique Mar 15, 10:40 3
