World of Warcraft Would Never Work on PS5 or Xbox

The official gamepad support in WoW: Forever is about as good as it could be, but it's still a square peg in a round hole.

The short version

• Which, on the face of it, is a bit odd.
• WoW either works to Blizzard's satisfaction on a gamepad, or it doesn't.
• If it does, why wouldn't Blizzard take the opportunity to bring one of the most-played games of all time to a whole new audience?

What happened

After playing the Forever beta using a gamepad, I think I know why. It's not that the gamepad support is bad — it's actually very good.

Why it matters

It's a totally viable way to play the game.
