Apple should step up and release an official games controller. The third party options haven’t really created enough momentum, and selling PlayStation controllers has always seemed a bit odd.
An Apple controller could have interesting features like a MagSafe mount and Vision Pro integration, there a lot of possibilities left on the table currently.
They’ve done one better by supporting the 3 most prominent controllers on the planet. I have an Xbox. Most gamers have a console. So they have controllers already.
Apple making their own is pointless. Now if they spun off a gaming studio with their own console and exclusives, now that’s something!

And it sucked ass
I thinks it's just a matter of time. I also think the next Apple TV generation will be a big step forwards for gaming.
Given their focus in form over function in other similar accessories like the mouse and apple tv remote I'd rather they didn't.
