I managed to grab my steam controller on the 4th when it dropped and it got… well I’m not great with time but I think I got it in July.
But anyways I lucked out and when I heard of the machine (and assumed frame) would have the reservation queue INITIALLY I was disliked it. I was thinking even with bots people could grab it, then I saw the amount of scalp listings
And then thinking about it, the window allows people not to plan around the date, I was lucky with the controller that I could use my college WiFi in the middle of lecture. But people at work or otherwise unable to fight in the refreshing gauntlet, or me on frame day sleeping through the announcement by 15 minutes.
Like I’m a little sore because… well idk why… but I think the benifits greatly outweigh the cons compared to the gauntlet of clicks
This kinda turned into a ramble I’m sure there’s an idea in here somewhere
Wait, you got your steam controller? I reserved my steam controller back in May and I just now checked and it says I'll get it in 2027 lmao
Edit: :(
I believe in your waiting ability
It’s very nice, basically the decks extra functionality on a gamepad. Gut feeling tells me once the initial wave of frames are out the back order of controllers will get going (my source is it came to me in a ~~dream~~ delusion)
That's all I could ever ask or hope for, and now you have me hyped about it even more lol but thank you for believing in my patience!
Don't worry I will hopefully get the purchase email much sooner than 2027 (damn oh wait, that also came to me in a dream/delusion 😢)
