To this day I don't understand why Google didn't release a reference implementation of the firmware as open source Android-style.
I'd imagine that some of the tech the controller users is licensed from other rights holders, so Google can't just open source it.
I wrote "reference implementation", not open source the existing firmware.
Because that company is completely insane and gotten too big for their britches. Also, I feel a company that big unfortunately can't be touched by right to repair... or does that movement even include stuff like bricked stadia controllers and bios locked laptops destined for the landfill?
