Additionally, there are some of us who have been inspired to get into development because of the Rift and are learning as we go. A developer with limited skills and/or limited time must make decisions based on what they are capable of doing and what they have time to learn and implement. Of course developers should consider what the end user experience will be, and I *do* believe that it should be one of the most important considerations, but sometimes what is practical will have to win out.
Ideally, every game/demo should include support for every peripheral the end user might want to use, and allow them to remap the keys/buttons to be exactly what is most comfortable for them. But we aren't all working under ideal conditions.
