It seems the popularity of the new Steam Controller really did catch Valve off guard, with it selling out a lot faster than expected.

    They should have used the Nintendo model. Proven customers first.

    There’s no shortage of supply on eBay.

      It’s a controller, it’s not the end of the world. Although if they do this for the Frame or Machine I would be upset.

        Whether it’s a Machine, a controller, or a damn sticker, scalpers are lowlife pieces of shit.

          Oh I don’t disagree, it’s just seems silly to scalp a controller. Like people have been playing games without this controller, we should all be able to hold out for them to restock (even though I know some people will cave).

        They’ve proven what they’re going to do, I’ll just have to try and get a frame before they sell out.

          You’ve been waiting for however many months for one. If they do sell out and you have to wait another couple of months, that’s OK.

            It’s okay to accept other people are frustrated. Stating a factual truth doesn’t alleviate their disappointment with a situation.

            I think it’s fair to feel like a system is unfair when it enriches greedy middle men and delays joy, no matter how short lived, to those waiting in anticipation.
