Yea Nintendo for me is really on my shitlist for how they’ve treated their players and their policies but they certainly make a good product and people are going to take that into consideration too.

I also agree, people should definitely know what they are buying and I think Valve has done their due diligence on providing that information. However, I think Valve making a peripheral that only works when logged into Steam and nowhere else is not a good thing and should be looked at critically. Other mainstream peripherals are much more plug and play to PC outside of their own ecosystem (Xbox, PlayStation) for a lower price. I do not see why the controller doesent support xinput or whatnot or at least why the driver cannot be a separate download and entity from Steam. It wouldn’t even be remotely controversial (Heh) that this is a device that could go the route of something like the Spotify Car Thing.

I hope you find some peace today. Im really sorry if my comments inflammed your frustration at all.
