some dumbfuck will buy this and cuss you and call you poor
>>
>>738213616
And other scalpers are buying because they think "surely if x2 this week, next week is x3". They're retarded.
>>
>>738213127
Lol. This isn't Pokemon cards. They're gonna be reasonably stocked
>>
how is the steam controller not a scam when you can just buy an 8bitdo controller for half the non-scalped price
>>
>>738213894
It's already sold out lmao.
>>
>>738213175
people with a job, one day you will understand once you grow up

>>738214018
Yeah. They're gonna restock. For a majority of its lifespan, it will be stocked reasonably.

nigga if your product sells out in a few minutes then that is not a properly stocked product and does not reflect well on the company being able to measure demand

I'd buy that for a dollar.

nigga i'm unemployed and I just picked mine up straight from steam, what's your excuse?

based i can’t wait until it hits $300 and maybe i’ll sell mine

Probably for the best, I'll pick it up next time I notice it's in stock.
>>
>>738213175
I didn't geted to buy from steam bc my fingers too slow n disconnected. But I wanna prove to you guys I'm not poor and belong to this cool controllers club aha. I need 2 anyway for racing with my little bro, so why not drop $600 y'know? It's not like I have to tell anyone I boughted from a scammer.

People with enough money to spend an extra fiddy or hunny bucks to get a product they want now.

Instead of potentially wasting hours pointlessly clicking a gamble button. Or waiting months for the next batch or orders to also pointlessly click said button, only for scalpers to buy up again.


This will continue until proper a backorder/waistlist system is put in place. It's gonna be even worse with the Steam Machines and Frame.

I can get a Steam Controller scalped for 150bux.

Honestly doesn't sound so bad, when you consider the alternative is waiting months for a repeat of this launch to not get anything again.
>>
just wait until they abandon it and dump their stock for $5 each like they did with the first controller

>Now it’s officially overpriced, more than “Pro” controllers and Razor controllers
It’s over Valve cults, you can’t justify a $300 price controller.
>>
>>738213843
Well actually the same scalper is selling to themselves thinking
>If I eat this many sellers fees, I will still make $100 so it's worth it

kill scalpers
behead scalpers
roundhouse kick scalpers into the concrete
slam dunk a scalper baby into the trashcan
crucify filthy scalpers
defecate in a scalpers food
i dont even want this thing, but being a scalper has to be the most pathetic shit ever
>>
Just wait for third parties to copy the design and sell it at half price. Chink products are good quality these days.
>>
>>738213175
I bought one because my ps5 controller that cost the same got stick drift in a year and a half and itll cost me another $100 to pay some Indian to put the tmr kit on it to fix it.
So I said fuck it and got this cause I think the touch pads will be cool for games like X4 where I fly a space ship but need a mouse.

Remember this anon, there is ALWAYS a bigger retard. The entire economy basically depends on that being true at one level or another. Sure, scalpers are retards, but the reason why scalping has such longevity even though anybody with half an ounce of sense would just say "okay, I'll just wait" is because there is ALWAYS some retard who will say "yes, I will buy this product at 2x+ msrp, I will do this because I am retarded."
The company is happy, the scalper is happy, the retard is happy.
The only people annoyed are the sensible people, and when has anybody ever listened to us?

Scalping is ingrained in the American gene.
literally.

>>738213127
All those steam controller shilling threads were just the scalpers' marketing. Anyone buying it at a driven-up price deserves their money taken. Godspeed
>>
Steam Machine is guaranteed to be $1000+ because of these scalpers, isn't it?
>>
>>738213127
You can report them to Steam
>>
>>738222063
Steam Machine is probably already going to be 1000+ bucks baseline because of everything else going on. Scalpers will probably sell it for 1500-2000.
>>
>>738222201
Nice
>>
>>738222201
isn't it weaker than a base ps5?
>>
>>738221689
I mean the American economy is currently sat on a several billion (trillion?) dollar nuke because of the fact there actually isn't a bigger retard and destroying the internet and selling repackaged old internet as AI isn't actually economically viable.

Valve is likely gonna fold and sell it at a loss adjusting for the ram shortage isnt going to be a sustainable model in the long term and holding out for ram prices is gonna tank potential revenue and their brand image

>>
>>738222659
I feel like the price point they probably want is supposed to be the console range so 500-600 bucks, but I don't think they can go that low with the launch because there is just far too many question marks about everything right now.
>>
>>738222563
Too cheap
>>
>>738222881
I imagine theyre gonna try to meet buyers in the middle at 800 for this year and then raise the price later to make up for the initial losses.

Building wells or gifting any machinery to build railways or work the land in africa is pointless
The nanosecond white men leaves the niggers with these means to improve their situation alone THEY WILL DESTROY THEM
A tractor or sowing machine? Ripped a part for scrap metal and so now they starve again
Wells? Not maintained, water contaminated with all kind of shit, pumps dismantled for scrap metal. Now they are back dying of thirst
Railways? Same shit

You can try to bring civilitation to a sub saharian primate but you only waste your time, all it does is entitling them to beg more shit next time these activitist come around to check how they are doing and if they refuse to give ot complain it's unironically machete time.
So dressing up as batman to scare minorities is the better use of money

Scalpers have no real-world skills, this is how they survive (as parasites). Well, parasites at least have a purpose in the grand scheme of things, scalpers are lower than that really. Truly worthless.
