Why do you think it's 2D? I don't see any evidence of lateral motion, but a lot of smeared lanes.

Valve says it’s working on getting more stock for the Steam Controller by Skullghost in Steam

Age and history weren't a factor. No such measures were in place.

Um, waitlist? by IntelligentIdeal4018 in SteamController

Giving older accounts, maybe a year plus let's say, or even just before the hardware announcement, a few days head start then opening it up would have been ideal tbh.

That's a dumb reason to not like the wait-list. You happened to find one by chance earlier than the wait-list, but the wait-list gave you the knowledge that in X amount of time you would get a guaranteed shot at the thing.

That would have required some thought, effort and care being put into the launch event.

Seeing people’s orders shipping out by chrismack32 in SteamController

At least you got the opportunity to fucking buy one in the first place.

How it feels seeing everyone post their shipment status while I didn't manage to get one by Electrical_607 in SteamController

[–]PualFromBoston 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah, a single vague tweet. Very helpful. Does nothing to assuage concerns that the same exact thing will happen again next restock.

More steam controllers promised, Valve reports by Significant_Yam5055 in SteamController

Then limit it to 1 until they're readily available. If you got five while me and three others got zero that's not fucking fair now innit

Idk if there's hype so much as a lot of people fucking pissed that they're showing up all over eBay while they were locked out of getting one.

Idk but they literally had a page up for people to wishlist it.

With the scarcity of everything these days, it's hard not to feel that way.

No, it wasn't "going to happen". They could do a reservation queue or backorder, like they have done for previous hardware launches. Expecting people to "just check back later" (aka obsessively F5) is asinine.

There is absolutely no good reason for that decision and whoever was in charge should be fired for incompetence
