Why not just take all the orders now and increase the estimated shipping date? Cut scalpers off at the knees by eliminating FOMO.

I love my original steam controller. I want one of the new ones for when my original eventually breaks. I don’t need it now though. So I would be happy to wait, if I knew they weren’t going to abandon it like the old controller.

Coordinate with a handful of friends for a few days of this and it would be a real mess. People might have to take the bus!
