- Game Actions are named by it's actual game actions. This is normally fine in a average SIAPI implementation but for Dynasty Warriors: Origins there's no Action Sets and all Game Actions are treated as Button Inputs. This can cause confusion when rebinding between Steam Input Controls Layout and In-Game Button remapping.
