  • I suspect that, given it’s just a controller, they likely won’t run into the same supply issues that might hit the steam machine or frame. That and I’m anticipating it will sell stronger, for longer, than their first steam controller; so even if stock does sell out at some stage I wouldn’t expect them to discontinue it for some years, any stock shortage would likely be brief.

    Lastly, the staggered release cycle will probably help them manage supply issues (if they do arise) better than if they were to release all of them at the same time (the people buying a controller now, won’t need to buy one bundled with a steam machine later, etc).

    I really wouldn’t worry about this while on a job hunt. Wait til you’re financially secure and then treat yo self.

    “evil and violence is not the natural state of humanity. this is not what humanity is like.”

    [picks up history textbook]

    [reading] Oh no.
    [flips a few pages ahead] Oh no. Oh dear.
    Oh god oh golly oh jeez oh fuck [frantic flipping through book, trying to find the part of human history without lots of violence and evil]

    perhaps it’s some confirmation bias – it being easier to write, both contemporarily and in hindsight, about the year a war kicked off than the years of fuckall happening before it – but no I’m fairly confident at least half of all of us are proper assholes, possibly more than half, and always have been; personal learned experience has further reinforced this. Misanthropy is only really unhealthy for oneself when you don’t know who you should be directing that anger at.
