the gyro can be set to “joystick” and “as joystick” one of those allows you to limit the gyro to rotation around an axis, that should give you what you want.

you can at the very least map analog sticks to the decks gyro, i played one of the Dirt games like that. Should be great for arcade style games like sonic all stars racing or mario kart.

or from the guy who barely “survived” a zombie attack who turned right next to you while you were afk because the door bell rang.

games that offer the option to self-host dedicated servers often have a central “master” server. dedicated servers advertise themselfs to the master server and clients can ask the master server for a list of servers. might be that the comment was talking about a server like that.

the master server for ut 2k4 that was run by epic had to be replaced by one from the community for two years now for example.
