      Observed results:
      There is no option to use classic d-pad.The new d-pad buttons do not work correctly because everything new brings problems and is uncomfortable for the player who is used to the old d-pad

      Impact on Gameplay

      • Many players have "muscle memory" and didn't even need to look at the screen because they knew where the controls were
      • Can no longer hold and drag over the various movement directions due to the gaps between the buttons
      • Can accidentally break blocks by touching gaps between buttons
      • In some cases, the controls are now difficult and uncomfortable to reach on tablets and phones
