I definitely remember a lot of chatter about the cameras as I moved on from console to computer. The y inversion definitely stuck with me while the x did not. My earliest controller was a flight stick, which is still in my head as how I’m controlling stuff. Maybe the whole ‘buttons to turn’ the x axis is the reason that it didn’t stick around either.

I do know that it’s just a preference thing. I can mentally switch from y axis inverted to not in about a half hour of play, I just don’t like to.
