You know.. it would of been easier to say you don't want to bring a game to the switch just because you don't want to.
Y'all gonna read this or no
The over defensiveness of this thread will be fun.
Do the two Joycon's together have the same # of buttons? The Pro controller doesn't come standard with every Switch.
We need to come up with a term for PR statements that try to sound nicer than the truth but end up sounding way worse instead.
It's true, anything that's not an analog stick is a terrible method of aiming.
Added bonus: Awesome "motion aiming is bad because you don't look at the screen anymore":
DN: Well, you know the beam that shoots out? You can use motion.
GB: You could motion it, but youre not looking at your screen anymore while youre playing.
Lol, what is Lawbreakers about again?
Overwatch is a beast so I wish them luck with thatArena-based hero shooter. It'll compete with Overwatch.
This sounds like the kind of excuse developers gave for the Wii...except there it made sense as most people would only have a Wiimote + Nunchuck. This one just makes it look like they're completely uninformed as to what the Switch even is

Yeah but it's not as fun. Rustling up NeoGaf's feathers is fun.You know.. it would of been easier to say you don't want to bring a game to the switch just because you don't want to.
lol I actually think that excuse would've made more sense than what they officially statedReal reason for no Switch version is that they don't want to compete against kids and squids.
Lawbreakers is already DOA on its preferred platform of PC, a Switch version would probably do even worse.
lol really? Wow Cliffy head back to the drawing board.
There's been a lot of hype leading up to the release of Cliff Bleszinksi's new class-based shooter, LawBreakers. And with all the positive media coverage regarding the outspoken Gears of War creator's latest project, you would think the game is on track to become another successful competitive shooter... however, that might not be case after looking at the early player counts during the game's beta on Steam.
LawBreakers' closed beta began on June 28 with the open beta starting two days later. Over the course of its eight days on Steam, the beta brought in a peak of 7.5k players in a single hour with the daily averages reaching as high as 3.5k players per hour over the weekend. Those lower-than-expected numbers were only enough to rank LawBreakers as high as No. 73 on Steam's list of most played games last week.
Wait, if you were a Dev, wouldn't you think it would be good to be the first arena shooter on a new console instead of trying to compete with overwatch, instead of coming up with weird excuses?Eh, not really getting why this game would be hard to map to the DS4. Square-Enix got a full scale MMO mapped perfectly fine to it. I used a bluetooth keyboard for chatting, but otherwise actually preferred the DS4 to KB&M for FFXIV.

If you can't design a game around the amount of buttons the Switch has, maybe your failing at designing your game..
They obviously just don't care, they should just say that.
Just say you don't want to do it. Saying something this stupid just makes you look like a dumbass. Like how important is the touchpad really?
If you're going to be fucking lazy, come up with a viable excuse..
I'm not stating that that's what they SHOULD do, I'm just saying I could see why some devs would choose a different answer than the truth.So the answer to avoid argument with something that might be true is to state something that is provably a lie?
I am not sure what logic you're following here.

Some people will accuse the dev of being lazy no matter what though:
As a fellow Switch owner, you guys are super defensive about even the smallest thing.
