No mouse and keyboard, no deal

In an interview with MinnMax, Max Spielberg, son of the E.T. director Steven Spielberg, revealed that his dad has a real disdain for video game controllers, and out-right refuses to play any game that requires him to use one.
“He loves story games and I’m always trying to get him to play Uncharted because it’s Indiana Jones and I’m like, ‘Hey, you’d appreciate this.’ But he’s like, ‘I can’t do controllers. I can only do keyboard and mouse,” explained Max.
Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End and Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, are both available on PC, but maybe Steven wants to play through the stories in order. The first three games are exclusive to PlayStation.
“He loves gaming,” said Max. “He’s the one who got me into it. He plays games. He’s a big PC gamer. So that’s kind of our bonding point as well. He’s like, ‘Hey, what’s good? What Call of Duty should I be playing? Send me a list of the top five shooters and I’ll get them downloaded, then we can play them together when you come over to the house.”
His father well and truly passed on the passion because Max is a video game developer and has been for some time, working at EA on the Battlefield series and now the creative director and co-founder of a studio called FuzzyBot.
It seems Steven is more of a Call of Duty fan, though. “It’s always a Call of Duty,” added Max. “He loves Call of Duty. He plays the story campaign.”
I think they already made a movie (about the Russian guy that ‘invented’ the game).
I play some PC gaming with my PC keyboard and mouse.
Might be a region thing. Try this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03oC6-zPZHQ
>>I only play Tetris. I am a big Tetris fan and I can’t wait till they make a 2 hour feature movie based on it.
You mean, like ‘Pixels’? Granted. it wasn’t ALL Tetris, there was also Arkanoid and Pac-Man thrown in.
yep my mouse is a thumb trackball
I hate controllers too
No way, seriously? Oh wow I gotta look that up!

Yep, and I liked it a lot. Gives good insight as to how messed up The Soviet Union was in its final days.
Reminds me of Flight Sim, before the joystick.
