What about our logic is so ridiculous, OB1?
A) Triggers on controllers are made to look and feel like triggers on guns.
B) Triggers on guns are pulled with the index finger.
Therefore:
It would feel most natural for a player to use his index finger to pull the trigger on the controller. So it feels like the trigger on a gun. I REALIZE that a gun and controller are not designed to fit into the hand the same way, but that's beside the point. The point is that when a player sees a trigger on a controller, it would be most intuitive for him to mentally connect that to the trigger on a gun. And what finger is used to pull the trigger on a gun?
We're not saying it CAN'T be done. All we're saying is that it feels much more natural that way. I don't think it can be explained any more simply and logically, but you're ranting as though we're complete maniacs.
