I think that the point that is often missed in these discussions is that people who care about 4-way play won't be satisfied with those "comparable" methods in any event.
There will be some who don't mind solutions like digital restriction (e.g. those expensive sticks) and they won't want those "comparable" methods.
The people who would be satisfied with "comparable" solutions to what Degenetron suggests aren't going to be people who care about 4-way functionality in the first place, so there is little point from a market perspective.
Having said that, it does make for a cool little experiment.

I think this is exactly it right here. People that want to play 4 way games need a 4 way joystick. For me, I play some 4 way games but really couldn't care less about how they play because it's close enough for me using an 8 way stick. I've never really noticed a difference to be honest and never had any problems with false directions (maybe thats just because I'm so precise with my joystickin and don't make mistakes :blah:).

I've been reading some posts this thread with no small amount of dismay/disgust. :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:
To put this thread in gun terms:
Several people at the beginning say that you can't hit a 150 yard target very well with a cheap .22 cal rifle. (very true since most come with iron sights instead of a scope)
Degenatron mentions that you can pick off targets fairly well PLINKING with an inexpensive Ruger 10-22 and a decent scope.
Randy keeps saying that only a .308 rifle with a Leupold 50mm miil-dot scope or better is suitable for real sniper duty. (Randy owns Remington. Andy owns Winchester.)
Several others agree that for sniper duty the .308 is the way to go.
Several people who have actually shot the Ruger in question make the point that for those of us who aren't snipers and would rather not spend $1400 on the .308, spending only $300 on the Ruger 10-22 FOR PLINKING works fine. :dunno
At this point, Randy continues to put down the Ruger option and hammer on the need to use the flat-shooting, hard-hitting, bad-guy-stopping .308 round. :hissy:
A cynical observer might conclude that Remington is nervous about the entry-level Ruger rifle cutting into his market share. ;D

Randy - In all seriousness, I think your passion for your products is truly commendable and both your products and customer service are top-notch, but not every business fills every part of every niche.
Like the argument about admin buttons, there is more than one answer -- the "correct" one depends on builder/user preferences.
I like having a range of choices. Yay, capitalism! We get to choose the best one that we're willing to pay for.

While RandyT certainly has some zeal that rubs people the wrong way, I don't think he has been off-point.
I remember a similarly-toned thread about the TOKN encoder where people who had actually tried it reported how great it was. RandyT was insistent as to what the underlying issues were and what the people who reported greatness needed to consider. There were a number of posts similar to the "RandyT doesn't like anybody who isn't GGG" posts here. Well, there is a reason that the TOKN isn't around anymore and it wasn't because Randy ran them out of town.
You should all be using Wico 4-ways for classics anyway! Except for Donkey Kong, which needs a Nintendo Strongtanium(tm) 4-Way. And Pac Man, which needs a Midway 4-Way. ;)
