As long as major games like Elden Ring are shipping without basic PC features/settings, I would say the industry is definitely not treating it as mainstream.
That’s a defining characteristic of console gaming, though. Even things like performance vs quality modes didn’t exist until this generation. It’s one of the reasons most PC gamers aren’t also console gamers.
Lords of the fallen had a really nice spell / ranged select system, I would love for fromsoft to implement something similar in the future, but we will see
I need to go back and play that. I put it on hold shortly after release in the hopes they’d polish it up. I’ve heard they did, but I haven’t gone back.

I disagree with this sentiment because many major games ship without some basic features in consoles too.

I’d also say weapon/spell/tool selection as well. They just don’t really care about their UI.

I was about to say “hey, I like their UI”… but then I remembered by I generally don’t play casters. It’s because you are right.
