why was my thread combined with this one as well??? someone took the time to read it didn't reply adds my thread to a thread about a separate bug that has nothing to do with mine, just causes the same effect

Hello, everyone. This is an issue we're aware of and investigating. When we have some news, that should be announced on our official channels.
When you submit a bug report, it's just a report that lets us know you found a bug. They don't get a response, but it does report the issue to us.

Starting to think that this is not a bug but rather a trojan horse to allow access to the users info. It’s a phantom presence that can’t be manipulated by even the user (owner) of the game. Why? Why have this extra controller that can’t be controlled by the user? Why does my system detect multiple controllers when I only have one active (powered on). Maybe I’m wearing a tinfoil hat but it’s big tech doing a big tech info grab.

There are a lot of pretty wild assumptions here, but I think this might be the best. It's absolutely not true though.
