Who's asking you... don't see a "Developer" star by your name.

Only if you're making a console game and plan on porting it to PC as an after-thought. If it's already a game developed for PC it just means creating native support for controllers instead of relying on Steam's controller support. Which means nothing more than adding some official binds to allow for smoother gamepad operation and has nada to do with mechanics since they're already in-place at this stage. It should be easier for a competent dev to add some bindings for devices that have been around for decades than to have to rewrite any mechanics hardcoded in the game's engine. All any RTS like this really needs are binds that allows for a gamepad to navigate/select/zoom/rotate through elements onscreen since that's pretty much all you are doing with a mouse 99% of the gameplay - since these games are all mostly about popping open UI menus, tweaking spreadsheet values and aligning things on a grid - it'd be a skill issue if this couldn't be achieved to a reasonable degree of efficiency.

Logic vs excuses.

Gamepad support would be absolutely amazing for steamdeck support.

I really doubt that this will happen... but some people say they saw flying pigs

Yet another developer who significantly hurts their own sales by not hiring a simple control developer. You can absolutely have controller support and robust kb+m support.

just over 200 playing right now......., I'd think they'd want as many people to buy their game as possible.

I imagine that implementing controller support is not an easy task and would not boost sales significantly in relation to the needed effort.

AoE4 has great controller support. So it is possible.
