Arhhhg too many buttons/keys

The only games to have more than 6 buttons in the classic era of gaming were flight simulators. Now it seems their isn't enough keys on the keyboard to accommodate new release games. The last game I played I had to rebind 28 different key configurations, even the game pad had multi-functional buttons. Just whats going on. It seems like a natural progression, the newer the game the more buttons it needs to play it. Games are not getting any more complex, just the programmers getting lazier. This time next year your going to have to control one pad in each hand whilst clenching your butt cheeks on a third to switch weapons.
