Should K&M be available on console?

This really frustrates me as you can do so much better with K&M (Keyboard and Mouse) compared to controller. Since that is what it is catered to I feel console players shou;dn't be held back.

    As a PC player I feel bad for my fellow console brethren, killers like Pinhead, Trickster, nemesis must feel impossible so I hope they add support

    The game either needs K&M support on console or BHVR needs to stop designing killers specifically for K&M. Blight and Trickster all but literally spit in the console player's face. I main Nemesis, and I love him but I know part of the reason is because he compensates for some of consoles' limitations: strafing with the tentacle is what makes his power actually useable on controller, and his zombies aren't hindered by the performance issues. BHVR should be embarrassed those are reasons someone would choose a specific killer in their roster.

    Should definitely have m&k support for console.

    Meanwhile some idiots think nemo should not be able to drag like seriously? He's already in a bad spot.

    Yes. No questions. PC players can use them, so why shouldn't console players be allowed to do the same?

    If support for M&K is not coming, and they've said they have no plans to add it, at minimum we need more settings for the blessed controller.

    The dead zones in the sticks are brutal, the rough to non-existent acceleration in those sticks limits so much, the input delay is worse than is should be, etc. etc.

    We need something. Pretty please. With a blighted cherry on top. 🍒

    Apparently it's also got something to do with Microsoft/Sony making it very difficult to implement on console. I'm pretty sure they could do it though if they really cared about console players (which they don't). Next best thing would be cross progression so you could at least play on PC if you've spent a lot of time/money on your console account.

    I know I bought Blight with shards recently for undying and I wanted to see how he is on console and he is a nightmare. I main pig and even her ambush can be tricky getting around corners. People have to choose killers that are actually usable on console. I love pig but it would be nice to try play other killers that aren't M1 so I can perform well and not get tbagged and flashlighted.

    Other games have done it if they keep designing killers like Blight, Huntress, Trickster and more then it is just unfair if they are only catering to one platform. You are right they clearly don't care the game has been out for over 7 years and they still do this. I can understand cross progression because Sony hates doing that kind of thing I don't know how games like Fortnite get away with it, though I do think BHVR need to push harder.

    All of this could lead to them losing even more players and judging how they were before the event based on the steam players they need console players just as much.

    Also sorry if this seems is a bit of a rant. It just frustrates me and many others.

    Your frustration is valid and understandable, and shared my many.

    I've never heard about Microsoft or Sony being involved in possible M&K support for this game. The only reasons I've ever heard are it would take too long to do, be too difficult to do, and require a UI update too.
