I loved my 2600 controllers. They lasted through the Commodore C64 era (Decathlon abuse) and then the Amiga era before PC-DOS gaming with mice made joysticks somewhat obsolete. They were perfect to hold in my big hand.
The design was simple but completely adequate to control 2d scrolling games. New controllers need to let you navigate through 3d space and it is more a matter of game design how existing controller features are used than the actual design of the controller.
The article is superficial and I missed mentioning of games which benefited from the new controller designs.
Us germans love to mess with the original English words, so I'd conjugate this verb like zwicken:
to brick -> bricken he bricked his iMac -> er brickte seinen iMac I have bricked my iMac -> ich habe meinen iMac gebrickt the iMac is bricked -> der iMac ist gebrickt
Yes, I love it and I'll use it, as others apparently already do:
