The whole subsystem is being removed, so the Android container to run apks is going with it. Sad to see it go, although my usage went down quite a bit after moving away from 3rd party Reddit apps.

The 8BitDo stuff is what I had in mind as well. Everything I have from them has Xinput mode, and works great for PC Game Pass and Xcloud games. I was hoping that anything that supports Xinput would be available on the actual consoles, but walled garden.

That makes sense, thanks!

The 8BitDo stick has been pleasant to use, and is compatible with a ton of systems. Why is it banned at tournaments? Wireless? Or something else non-standard about it?
