"You cannot just re-release these games after so long and not support the standard input PCs have used for over 30 years," added another. "Absolute low tier effort there by Konami if it launches like that."

Reddit user Altaiir57 agreed: " Imagine a game releasing for consoles but it doesn’t support that console’s default native
