I’m job searching right now and can’t really justify the Steam Controller purchase this week. Before getting laid off and RAM-pocalypse, the plan was to buy a Steam Machine and controller when it was going to release early 2026, but clearly that plan has changed a bit.
The FOMO is hitting after the previews this week! Do we think we need to worry about Steam Controller availability later in the year?
I use a DualSense Edge for my PS5, and either an old PS controller when docked or my 8BitDo SN30 when I travel for the Steam Deck. If I had the Steam Machine I’d buy it instantly, but who knows when that will happen and how much it’ll cost.
I didn’t say it would be a rare thing. The question is whether someone believes the steam controller will be hard to get later in the year as stated in the OPs post. I do not believe it will be hard to get
What I meant was that I think the initial enthusiasm towards the product will go way beyond the people considering getting a steam machine and wouldn’t think it odd for there to be some “sold out, next batch arriving in x” moments
