Same for me in most cases.  Hell, on obnoxious games I even turn off rumble if possible.  We certainly don't need 'HD' rumble.

Whenever I read comments like this, I can't help but think back on Nintendo's old consoles and how many innovations they started that later became standard in the industry.  Innovations we didn't think we needed but now can't live without.  Don't be surprised if the next PlayStation and Xbox systems "borrow" this technology.

I'll think it's pretty dumb when it becomes standard too.  Controllers do not have massive real estate.  Could those joy-con/pro controllers be $5-$10 cheaper without it?  

I get what you are saying, but some things are an innovation and truly add to the experience of most/all games and some things are just an added cost that will fade away or become a niche thing that barely gets used.  Rumble tech, let alone 'HD' rumble, tech is imo niche.  I highly doubt it is the 'next big thing'.  Like to the point where maybe 1%-5% of all games use rumble in a way that actually add to the gameplay rather than it being an unnecessary gimmick let alone use it at all.  I think can't even remember any games i've played that even use regular rumble.

Meh I could also just being grumpy grampa about this stuff.  Ya'll may just love this shit out of it and I never will.
