i can see how it can be read as bragging, perhaps? i could probably have been a bit more sensitive about it. honestly i just jumped on the steam store after a friend told me they had released, and i got no lag or anything. could just add to cart. i thought they must have stocked plenty of them and beefed up their infra.
We'd all be happier for you if you were a touch less glib. And especially if you sent me your extra for my wife. She's not even gonna use it as much as I would one of my own, but it was supposed to be an important gift, so it's for her.
didn't mean for it to come across like that, completely honestly. this was the first thread about this i stumbled over after getting home, so i chimed in on how my experience worked out. it's only now that i've checked around the other threads that i see that this apparently overwhelmed them and people aren't getting through.
Idk their comments read pretty neutral to me, I don't think they intended to do anything but frankly share their buying experience. But idk, I'm not a mind reader. Sorry about not getting in on that first batch, I get that's frustrating. For what it's worth, I doubt the shortage will last too long, it's my understanding that none of the individual components have supply issues. Mother's Day is out the window unfortunately but hopefully soon 🤞

And of course they're already being scalped for 6x MSRP on eBay… I fucking hate humanity.
Yeah but is anyone gonna pay that?
Never underestimate the level of dipshittery in this world
6x or double?
I saw one with a BIN of $600
I see some people advertising the original Steam controller for > than the new one as well. Grifters gonna grift.
tyty 🥰
I'll keep trying.....
Was back in stock for 20 seconds so I got it added to my cart...
i didn't even have an issue buying two. it just worked.
Lol, why are you being downvoted?

It feels tone-deaf in contrast to the other comments.
Because they are just bragging.
Are they? Or are they just being frank?
No, they're lime.
i don't even know a frank
Damn I'm embarrassed by how long it took me to get that lol
That's great! I'll pay you cost plus shipping for the other, thanks. My wife asked for this for Mothers' Day.
...from europe?
i think that's the reason it worked, honestly. they probably had them shipped out pre-launch.
Did I stutter?
they're saying 10 days of shipping minimum, and to expect delays. so if you want it for the eighth i'm afraid i can't help you...
I am confident that she's willing to wait, considering the lead time for another batch from the factory.
oh they're that understocked huh? i can help you out then.
Yeah just the one would be great. Two would be fabulous, but I understand if you want to keep one for yourself.
