Hello! More players than ever are choosing to play Steam games with a controller, and we thought it would be a good time to share some stats about controller usage on Steam along with an update about Steam Input.

I guess the goal is to profit from confusion, and it seems like it’s working because even people on Lemmy are tricked by it. Consider the average consumer.
