Phew, at least it’s not a Logitech controller
Don't forget, it's built out of materials which are more suitable for making airplanes than submarines, and is bound by no safety regulations

Aww, I was really excited because I thought it was gonna turn into the intro text from Iron Lung.
No, just memeing about Oceangate again
In December 2023, Szymanski faced criticism online for increasing the price of the game by two dollars
???
The game is an hour long, one time thrill and is excellent at it. However, there is no variation nor surprises after the first run, so it was reasonably priced for like a dollar or two. The criticism is the game became a meme game that caused the dev to double the price to capitalize on the fame. It's one of those situations which leaves no one happy.

Yeah? And? If a dev wants to increase the cost of their game, they can do that. It's a single dev, not a AAA studio. Don't like it? Don't buy it. Iirc he also released an update that added a bunch of lore stuff.
I gotcha
Perfect.
The problem wasn't the game controller.
The problem was using a composite construction for the pressure vessel that wasn't pressure tested before diving.

Just as a fun fact, it’s actually quite common for industrial machinery and the like to be controlled with a gaming controller. Like, a hundred things wrong with the submarine trip - but the PlayStation controller is genuinely one of the more legitimate aspects.
They’re simply made well, easy to use, and typically extremely durable and long lasting.
It wasn't actually a playstation controller though. It was a Logitech.
Yeah I know, it’s actually the same one I use on my CNC machine. The OP just said PlayStation as kind of a general purpose term
that controller was the jankiest shit on clearance at kmart.
It is also sort of like the WWII US grenade being modeled on a baseball because every young American knew how to throw a ball.
Everyone has used gaming controllers, so it is a familiar control system.
Yes they're used, but they're not THE ONLY method of control as it was in this disaster of a sub.

pushes up glasses
ackshually, it was a Logitech F710 controller
yes this is actually a pivotally important detail
the idiots who made this sub were so fucking cheap, useless, and incompetent that they even opted for what amounts to the 'great value brand' of FUCKING INPUT DEVICES.

Woah there sir, this is factually incorrect. It was an Xbox controller. Even more frightening.
