Because some genius third-party vendor figured out that the console controllers are clunky, ill-designed pieces of crap that hinder your ability to play, some game designers are losing their minds.
"The Overwatch team objects to the use of mouse and keyboard on console," Kaplan wrote on the Battle.net forums. "We have contacted both first-party console manufacturers and expressed our concern about the use of mouse and keyboard and input conversion devices.

Not only is the PC killing the console. But PC gamers with mice are killing console gamers with their stupid ass controllers.

Isn't the future glorious?

Regardless of where you fall in the long-running debate between keyboard/mouse and analog stick controls, you could historically be relatively sure that everyone on a single platform would be playing with the same control scheme.
First of all, only morons still think there's a debate. It's been proven countless times that mouse/keyboard > controller in FPSs. And doesn't the uproar over this product prove it yet again? Not to mention the FACT that developers actually add code to cheat aiming for console players?

Secondly, the later half of that quote is wrong...if you're playing on PC where freedom reigns.
