We are quite close to 100 pages. Why won't the Scratch Team add it already? It's so useful! Because it makes games more… game-y! (reference to a post from the first 40 pages)

Because the Scratch Team is working on other stuff. It takes time to add in new features.

I was going into the topic from “Messages”, not “New Posts”, so it's another problem. Plus, I could get into other topics.

It's practically the exact same link, just from a different place.
According to post #1950, this problem occurs when the newest post in a topic has been dustbinned (the topic itself has not been dustbinned, just the post)

It was happening over the course of more than a day though, is that normal? Plus, which error would you get with that bug? Since if it gives you a 403 error on Chrome and a blank page on Firefox, that's not the error I got, and that's normal since the topic is briefly dustbinned I think. (I need an autocorrect)

It's pretty normal. It happens to me a lot.
Also, I'm not sure what error you get because I don't remember. It's probably a 403 (at least on Chrome, never used Firefox before).

Also, we should probably move this conversation to a profile (mine or yours), as it's off-topic.

99 pages is crazy, even so, I bet scratch would decline this, their only reasong probably being it's too hard or too time consuming for their workers, which I half understand and agree

The Scratch Team has specifically not rejected it when asked about it. I think what's going on is they are keeping silent until they know they are absolutely sure it works and is able to be added. If this thing gets into Scratch Labe then they don't add it for whatever reason at the end of it, people are going to be very mad. It's just a waiting game at this point.
(If nothing happens by the time I get a job there in 5 ish years, ima do something about it)

wait, then cant you just map your controller to your keyboard, and then add makey makey? It would require an outside of scratch extension most likely, but could work

Makey Makey can't do analog or rumble.

This is actually a good point! If they made an extension for a niche device that only a fraction of Scratchers own, why not add USB gamepads which are much more popular and widely available? (by comparison)

After testing, I can confirm you can map an snes controller to your keyboard. The extension was a bit dodgy, and my computer takes longer to load now, but hey, trust the process right?

Q: why not use joytokey or other controller remapping programs?
A: these programs don't run on all devices, you often have to pay for them, and it doesn't support proper analog movement.

Then they use a phone. If you're using Scratch, you have either a phone or a computer.

what if the project is wasd/arrows-only? no one´s reporting that, so why should controller-only/no controller support be reportable???

As sonic_fan said, people normally have or borrow a computer. Mobile isn't very useful on Scratch if you want to code, but is commonly used, and mobile only games can be played on a computer.. (Then again, mobile controls are useful, except for when you accidentally click) Not everyone has a controller.
