Hello,
I am dismayed and frustrated that in 2024 games like Age of Empires II DE, III DE and IV do not support gamepads, while Age of Mythology Retold did.
I do not own AoE IV, and I will never buy it until it supports gamepads and I see on its Steam page that Xbox controllers are supported, as on the AoM Retold page.
I do not care at all about crossplay and an imbalance with keyboard/mouse players, I am a casual gamer and I only want to play the campaign modes solo, and I want to be able to play it on my Steam Deck with the same ergonomics as AoM Retold, which I find very well designed, even if some feel that it detracts from the original gameplay, which leaves me indifferent.
The games are playable but it’s a pain to simulate keyboard and mouse with the Steam Deck controls, so please bring gamepad support to all of these games, which could open up access to an audience that is resistant to keyboard/mouse.
Best regards

Xbox can use keyboards, why can’t PC use controllers?

I don’t like the idea of playing with a Gamepad, but I support you. We are in 2024, and the game already runs in Xbox Series with Controller. Maybe an option to change the input and then restart the game to apply the changes (if it is easier that way, I don’t know)
