As much as you and others might want to whine about it, making a PC game that needs or should be played with a controller is just fine. If you are stubborn and will never buy a controller then don't buy the game, problem solved.

Not really, no. I can't believe you of all people are trumpeting this stupid nonsense, did you fall and hit your head on something? You know better than this. There is nothing about this specific game or this type of gameplay that should require a controller. You talk about customization but act as if people should just use one thing because you did or X dev didn't feel like doing something, it's hypocrisy. You say other people are whining but all I see is you bleating about other people. They are making very legitimate and reasonable posts with concerns about standardized input issues amongst other things.

Saying "oh they will probably patch it in later" doesn't exactly fill people with confidence after being burned by previous console lead titles like Transformers where it was never patched in. Can you point to developer discussion where they have indicated that it will be patched in? At least that game had the decency to use a somewhat standardized control schema. As for "dont buy it", the answer to that is "DUH", that's the point of the demo after all - evaluating the game to make a purchase decision.
