    To me, using a Logitech controller is a red flag. Not that they used a controller, but that they used a cheap knockoff controller, not an official one. (I had a Logitech controller when I first got a gaming PC; I could not get a different one fast enough). It’s a red flag because if you cheaped out on the controller, what ELSE have you cheaped out on?

    That was one of my first thoughts when I saw they used one, and it turned out they cheaped out on a lot.

      They cost slightly less than the Xbox/PS ones and used to cost more. I used to own one and they’re not the most comfortable but are built like tanks. My guess is the reason for choosing them was something other than cost.

        The now-deceased CEO of OceanGate was proud of having bought carbon fiber to use that was half price because it was past the shelf-life for airplanes. So I’m sticking with he was doing things on the cheap.

      Spending less money doesn’t necessarily mean you “cheaped out”. Spending more money does not guarantee reliability.

      You may not have liked it and it may not have been great but it likely got the job done perfectly fine.
