Comment on Microsoft’s repairability push now extends to Xbox controllers, too

AFAIK Sega did it twice on the Saturn and the Dreamcast controllers… I think the problem grew over the time… Companies try to cheap out on parts as much as possible, try to limit the lifetime of said parts to about 2 years so people will have to buy new controllers…
