Okay this has been bothering me lately… Wasn’t inverted y usually the default setting in games until somewhat recently? Now it seems to never be the default. What changed and when? Or is this just in my head?

If I had to ballpark it, I remember there being a bunch of inverted controls around the late 90s, so maybe around 2000?

I still think inverted was the default in the 2000s. Maybe around 2008 with the PS3 and 360 era it started to change? This is also when video games really seemed to take off for the average person too, so maybe that has something to do with it?

I never played on consoles, but I'm pretty sure that also happened on PC. Maybe around 2005 or 10.
