But this shouldn't be like this, at all.
I know Battlefield 6 already has a UX Problem, but the way how you enable Gyro Aiming only contributes to the problem, especially when it as a major promised on actually implementing Gyro Aiming.

for context: ever since COD came back to Steam, this has been a ongoing issue for over 4 years, and with the introduction of Steam Input mode (not real Steam Input API), it's lacking Motion Sensor support, making it a missing feature.
