IMHO immediate buy followed by a reservation for the next batches is the best of both worlds

They should add an account age parameter, if the account just got created it can buy a controller

Should have done it on May 4th but still a good solution

I was going to just wait until these became just normally commercially available like the Steam Deck, but it looks like that isn’t gonna happen lol

Nah I’m good. Got the 8k GameSir preordering coming out next month. Way better controller and doesn’t have to worry about left trackpad issue return roulette. Just not worth it. I’ll wait 6+ months. Let them fix everything first.

Good news but they don’t get a pat on the back for doing this after the fact (when they have done the exact same thing for the steam deck in the past).

If this new batch of Steam Controllers get shipped to people before my launch day order gets shipped, I’m a be upset. I’m stuck in forever “Items Packaged” and I ordered on the launch minute

Is everyone hugging this, I can’t even go to the page to read it….

As someone who already bought a steam controller (and isn’t a scalper) I like preventing me from reserving another

What does “Steam account must be in good standing.” mean exactly? I have a VAC Ban from 14 years ago, will this affect me?

PSA. If you bought from a scalper, you’re part of the problem.

This is actually a pretty good system. They should have done this from the start.
Simple line to wait for your turn to order, gotta order a bit after that, have to have an account of a certain age with a purchase, limit 1.

Why they didn’t do this to start I’ll never know.
