Science has finally figured out why I play games with inverted camera controls
It turns out it wasn't because I played a lot of Flight Simulator
Hmmm: Why do some players invert the Y-axis in video games? To many, it seems strange to make down mean up and up mean down. For inverters like me, it feels natural – the default setting is as awkward as writing with the wrong hand. I always assumed my inclination came from my formative years playing Flight Simulator. However, a new study shows that the explanations players give for inverting have nothing to do with it.
