>new steam controller video drops>mindrapes poor 3rd worlders because it is only $99>seethe and salt flow effortlessly on /v/hecantkeepgettingawaywithit
Console cucks are just incapable of understanding PC gamers will happily pay extra for quality hardware.I assume a console cuck switching to PC gaming would just buy a bunch of plastic "epic gamer" shit because it would he cheap then he'd get mad that it all sucks.
>Valve pegs their controller price to around the same price as other premium controllers for Playstation/Xbox/high-end PC>Tim Sweeny has another meltyI don't know hwat Gaben did to mindbreak that man so hard, like he buttfucked him without offering a reacharound kind of assmad
the $99 is whatever, the fact you have to jump through hoops to play pirated games with it is the real thirdie filter.
>>737780178>hoops>add non-steam game>HOOPSHOOOOPS LMAO
>>737780178>you have to jump through hoops to play pirated games with itHuh? Doest the controller only works with steam?
What is with all the threads about this, it's just a controller. Is there some kind of culture war tie-in that I missed? I seriously have no idea why so much of the catalog is occupied by this device.
>>737779835>Strap for Cash Gappedben
>>73777983599 buckaroos is perfectly fine, for a controller that takes full advantage of steam input.
You should send me $100 or you're a brown third worlder
>>737780654>have to do this for each and every new game you want to playit's a humiliation ritual.
Reminder that only first world countries can actually buy this. No joke. Its legit not available to any countries in Africa, some Asian etc. The retards against this controller are literally third world.
>>737780669There's no way even valve would be that Judaic to fucking DRM a controller.
>>737780669No works without steam. Guy from the Verge already showed him using it to navigate his bios.For input mapping you're better off using steams mapper though
>>737780871how the fuck do people defend this company?
>>737780767Your fucking life is a humiliation ritualHonestly kill yourself already
I don't care about the controller leak the frame.
>>737780910Defend what exactly?What are you so upset about retard?
>>737780910The verge isn't the bad
>>737780940if you play 100 games and it takes 30 seconds to add each game that's 50 minutes wasted on nothing.
Valve hardware is always expensive, the only time this wasn't the case was with the Steam Link that they eventually gave away for practically free cause nobody was buying them.
>>737779835>only $99>for a controller
>>737781030Buddy, if you're pirating that much I don't think you can afford this controller. Best you just end your pathetic existence
It's funny how the main complaint now is "I can't play my pirated/emulates games with it! Ok well I can but I need to click the add game to Steam button!"Nigga you are playing emulators and pirated games. You don't have 100 dollars to spare on a controller lmao
>be PC fag>use controller over keyboard/mouseCouldn't be me
>real yakuza use a gamepad:(>lootbox hat and drm company sells a $99 meme gamepad:)
>>737779835you're delusional if you think it will stay at 99 and not increase further or not be replaced with a new version
>>737779950"quality hardware" has just as much of a shelf life as consoles have
>>737781153it doesn't even have to be pirating you numbskull. gog games, game pass games, itch games, egs games(lmao) someone got for free, something like ffxiv from their official launcher, anything on b.net, games like genshin that have their own launcher, etc. all require you to manually enter them.then on top of that you have pirated games, emulators, etc.
im a deckfag but even i think this controller is a meme.i guess it will serve an extremely niche purpose for those that like to play pc games in the living root, but even i that point i'd rather just set up a keyboard/mouse
>>737781153You have it backwards anon, it's spending a shit load of on games that would mean you wouldn't be able to then afford a controller.
>>737781451Holy shit retard. You're complaining about one click to add a game. Get a fucking grip
>op makes a thread about poors being poor>poors prove ops point
>>737781730it's a waste of time and you can buy cheaper controllers that don't have this issue. the cyclone 2 even has better latency than the steam controller, i think it was the ltt video that showed that and that's about half the price and can even wake up a switch 2 from sleep mode.the steam controller is something i was greatly looking forward to but it's currently not worth it if you're an actual gamer unless you want to play mouse games on your couch.
"Give it all to Gabe..."No, we must fight back
>>737781876post payslip
>$1000 for an OUYA
>>737781013Can you read, you cocksucking faggot retard?
>>737782307(you) can't seem to read retardsController works fine. What's your problem Is the third worlder having a melty because he can't afford a controller?
I feel like im being gaslit with people saying its too expensive when I know sony and microsoft sell theirs for both around the same price and for WAY more.
>>737782874People who don't play games think we still live in 2000 and controllers are 45 dollars
I already have a controller. Why would I need this one?
>>737779835Thirdworlders weren't gonna buy a controller regardless of price. They're the ones that cry when a game doesn't have decent kb/m support because they never want to spring for a controller or much less BUY a game.
>>737779835It's going to be funny as shit if Steam does regional pricing on the controllers and it becomes affordable for those 3rd worlders. I really want to see what the next cope would be.
>haha the poors can't buy it and seethThat shilling strategy was popularized by PUBG l, don't be fooled these posters are really paid for it
>>737781117You should see the $200 controllers console players are buying after their cheap $50 controllers get stick drift. Then they mod these out with another $75 in parts to make the joystick pads not shit and add missing essential features.
The day you put the sticks in the right place is the day I'll give a fuck, retard.
>>737783349Sticks belong on the back of the controller so the more precise index fingers can move them.
>>737779835But if you want a controller that doesn't break or get stick drift in three months of daily use you have to pay over $200 now?
>>737779835>>737779950>it is only $99>PC gamers will happily pay extra for quality hardware.at this point you should consider suicide. riding another man's dick isn't healthy
>>737779835I'm getting anally humbled on the toilet right now, this shit is almost as big as a steam controller and refusing to come out like a steam machine
>>737784131Oh yeah then why does your mom do it?
>>737780178>Hoops>15 seconds to add non-steam game to steamAnd I already fucking do that anyway for steam input support.
>>737783920hall effect or tmr controllers don't develop stick drift and cost under $50
>>737785079Because they have a huge built in deadzone to hide it retard.
>>737780120its gonna get funnier now.there is this one schizo in the nintendo threads spends all day declaring anyone and everyone who says anything against nintendo as "eric" and tells them "nice samefag, eric"over and over and over again.ALL day.he now thinks "eric" is one of the anons who gets in skub fights with the epic-shills in steam threads.
>>737783248Consoles are closed gardens. Valve has to compete with the multitude of controllers pushing out with the same sticks/build quality ,and better software not tied to steam, Often for $60 or $50 or even less. Only thing this has going for it is the trackpads and the brand name behind it.
>>737786038>better software not tied to steam
>>737786092Steam controller requires Steam to work. Other controllers work on anything from emulators to older games, other stores (or no store) to the Switch.
don't forget they also announced they're making a Steam Deck 2
>>737786235>Steam controller requires Steam to workhttps://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/commit/1998b650452bdf0bee5209e20e4715b4295abe8c
>>737782874Nintendo sells Pro Controllers for the Switch 2 for like $10 less, I really don't see why the price point is such a massive point of salt for some of these "people"
I can afford it but why does Valve have to be greedy
>>737786379sweeny is obsessed and valve is holding corpos back from being bigger assholes.
>>737781378the controller is highly repairable though
>>737786421>greedy
>>737786339*Better software not tied to Steam or SDLwhich is still worse compatibility than native xinput
>>737785597holy dunning-kruger dumbass
>>737786521>worse compatibility>software that microsoft itself doesn't want to use and refuses to improve
>>737782874it's fucking weird, it literally offers more than other pro controllers for the either less or the same price. and it's more repairable than every single one combined so it will last you far longer.
>>737781030Let's be real, we both know that your time isn't worth much of anything
>>737782874you are.there is literally an entire company in pakistan hired by sweeny of epic games to cry here over ANTHING AND EVERYTHING valve does 24/7
>>737786468So we are paying extra for repairability now?
>>737786471yes, Valve already makes a gorillion dollars
I'm convinced these threads are artificially creating controversy. It's a controller. And PC gamers use mouse and keyboard which is proven time and time again to be better than controllers. That's the whole point of PC gaming. The only reason this controller exists is people who refuse to adapt from consoles.
>>737782874I never buy any first party controller
>>737786661i mean yes in most cases products that are more repairable are usually more expensive to begin with. the fact that other companies sell you expensive tech that actively prevents you from repairing them is what shouldn't be happening
>>737786683The whole point of PC gaming is to use whatever you want not keyboard and mouse to the grave. Flight sticks use to be commonplace on PCs are no one was reeing over how KB+M is superior to flightstick
>>737786668>gorillion
>>737786379that switch 2 controller can also be used on pc to be fair(thanks valve). being tied to steam input means the steam controller is pc only, which is...less than ideal when keyboard+mouse is still the better control scheme for most games and the steam controllers gimmick is trackpads to play games that are better played on mouse+keyboard to begin with. for the steam machine in a living room, i have no doubt the steam controller fucks and is super useful but you could buy that switch 2 controller and also use it on pc for the few games you'll actually want a controller for.
>>737785759nice try eric
>>737786832>"nice samefag eric" x100000
>>737786756You do know that a lot of cheaper controllers are repairable too, like 8bitdo.
>>737786794ok on the fighting game analogy is mostly cause fightsticks were grandfathered in without regard of whats actually better. a keyboard is better for fighting games compared to a fightsticks, it's why leverless's are so controversial.
>>737786878>8bitdo>triggers aren't repairable>break the most
>>737780120>Valve pegs their controller price to around the same price as other premium controllers for PlaystationNot even close, the dual sense edge is like $200
>>737786878yeah but the controller itself is also insanely cheaply made, and don't try to tell me they aren't i have one right fucking next to me. a high quality controller that is repairable is going to be expensive. high quality tech that is repairable is always expensive this isn't exclusive to pad controllers
>>737785759>so you know how I spend all day in Nintendo threads criticizing them for every small detail? , well just today I was in a Valve thread defending my best friend Valve from criticism and boy did I notice something hypocritical going on!
>>737786992nice try eric
>>737785759We can't critique anything Valve or Nintendo. They're gods above us, peasants.
i dont even know who eric is and why you faggots talk about him so much but this shit is hilarious
>>737786963Bro it's all made in china from chinkshit plastics
>>737787038>>737787076nice samefag eric
>>737787038Valve is the equivalent of Costco. Once they raise the price of the hotdog, we riot. They have yet to do that, and the same is said for Valve.
>>737787093reductionist retardation is not an argument
>>737787102geeeeeg
>>737787163All the parts for all controllers are sourced and assembled within the same district in Shenzhen
>>737779835>only $99That's expensive, however you get what you pay for.A controller that lasts fucking forever on battery, never stick drifts and has some fancy QUAD haptic stuff.There is $99 in it because it's an proper deluxe controller.
>>737787038>>737787076>>737787102Same fag!I caught you red handed, buster!
>>737787340nice try but I know its you ericI caught you delivering my mail earlier
>>737786379>but what about Nintendo
>>737787387nintendo is a valid comparison hereyou get so much by paying that $10 more that it's not even funnysteam controller is a flagship, nintendo controller is apple tier markup
>>737787370dont even try to pretend you arent eric
>>737787387good job catching eric there.>>737787451nice try eric
>>737779835fuck off gabe. steam is malware and you have to be a tranny thirdy to use any of their products.
>>737787460nice try eric but I know its you pretending not to be eric.I got your license plate number earlier when you cut me off on the freeway.Only eric would do that.
>>737787545>implying that he isnt eric even though my food was missing from the work fridge todayyeah nice try eric
>>737787779Nice try eric but I saw you installing that fridge 5 years ago
Are there any other Erics I should know about?
>>737786661Would you rather pay $60 yearly or $100 once and $10 for parts whenever something fails every three years? I think the decision is obvious unless you're short-sighted.
>>737787840Nice try eric but I cottoned onto the "fake chair" routine a month ago
hi guys whats going on
>>737787974no way...
>>737787474>>737787545>>737787779>>737787813>>737787840>>737787906>>737787974>>737788025STOP FUCKING PRETENDING TO NOT BE ERIC
>>737787451>you get so much by paying that $10 more that it's not even funnybeing able to use it on less devices is too big of a trade off. the steam controller is too niche, any case you can make for the track pads is better off on kb/m instead. controller focused games where you wouldn't use the m/kb don't need the track pads either. the actual answer is to grab some $50 chinese controller with tmr sticks.
>>737788167I'm not eric, i'm riceX
>>737785759i dont give a fuck about poopdickfart schizos
>can't handle any criticism directed at Valve>just deflect and wave your hands while loudly shouting that you're a victim of namecallingYeah that's about how I expected the worst fanbase in gaming would handle the news about their best friend Gabe Newell and his billion dollar company Valve thay continues to fuck over its cult userbase
>>737788351>>737788386nice try eric
>>737788284>less devicesbut that's objectively wrongthe only thing that's happening here is that windows support is secondary and deservedly soif you're not on linux yet you're just cattle
>>737788465the switch controller works on mobile and pc as well as the switch. requiring steam input means that the steam controller works on pc and only with the steam link app on android. fwiw i think the switch 2 controller is way too expensive but at least you can double dip and use it on pc/console as opposed to just pc.
>>737788579sorry ericschizo but nobody on pc wants to play switch games on switch
>>737788579why the fuck would valve work on integration for consoles? you're not their audience, your shitboxes should cease existing, you should keep buying their overpriced garbage meant to kill itself and get replacedandroid support won't take long, steam is going to expand to arm soon
>>737788351more like butt rice
>>737788992>you're not their audiencebarely anyone is if you think about how you would use it. the main draw are the touch pads which are useless if you're sitting at your pc playing a game where you could use m/kb instead. it's designed for their console and the reviews talk about how it's just okay compared to other controllers.i'm not going to bat here for console controllers, i'm saying that mk/b is better 99% of the time and for the games where controllers are better, the track pads aren't gonna do shit and any old controller will do.
>>737789306>the reviews>controller isn't even out
>>737789306their audience is Linux based users and steam users on windows
>>737789357valve sent out review units to a lot of different youtube channels >>737789401again, think this through. when are you using it over a mouse and keyboard for games that would use the track pads? why pay extra for the track pads if you're not going to use them in games that are designed to be better on controller? being stuck on steaminput sucks for windows too because you have to add everything you wanna play to steam. it's too niche.
So, does it have Bluetooth or do you have to use the puck?
>>737789631Yes, has to have da bruetoof for their arm expansion goals
>>737789563For everything? It's the ultimate controller with pro features and it's not meant to be used by console and windows cattleThis controller will replace everything else
>>737789927>It's the ultimate controller with pro featuresreal talk, it's missing good triggers for racing games. but you should be using pedals and a wheel for those anyway.
>>737779835He can and he fucking will 2bh. I know there's a lot of seething snoy jeets but an extra $0 is worth not getting guaranteed stick drift.
>>737789563>youtube channels
>>737779835Proprietary controller? In this day and age?
>>737789989good triggers for racing games???????never understood this>last racing games played and enjoyed were OG forza on xbox and burnout 3
The beautiful thing about steam is that you can just buy any controller you want and use that instead. I’ve been using the same plug in afterglow Xbox 360 controller I got from GameStop for like 15 years now. Maybe I’ll try this one out when it ends up in the bargain bin like the last steam controller.
>>737779835>be poor 3rd worlder>have been working the steam market for years>spend 100% of the time the electric grid is on, idleing for drops>buying games at 99% off>selling hats and cards and emotes on the steam market>now can turn the hundreds of steamlocked USD into a physical product to resell>village is saved!PRAISE GABEN SIR
>>737780178wait so how would this work with emulators?
>>737781117This
>>737793350from what im seeing it seems like it'll work with anything that supports SDL, so it should be fine out of the box
>>737793350worst case, you'll have to run the emulator through steam
