Not happening. They've botched the launch of their controller so I wouldn't have faith in them making their way into anything with a large scale fab.

I just don't think they were expecting that much demand for a controller. Last time they made a controller they ended up basically giving them away because pretty much nobody wanted them. I bought the 1st gen steam controller for $5 + shipping. I’m assuming they really didn’t want a repeat of that

I think the same thing happened with all the first gen versions of the prototype steam machines, back then, too.

Then they weren't paying attention. They had wishlist numbers and a noticeable niche of YT was ablaze about it. Both of those were indicators at the least.

Not being able to meet demand is not botching.

And actually dealing with scalpers better for the the next product release. Like, who actually does that? Nobody.

Neither did they. They were already taught the scalper lesson with the Deck. They didn't learn it for the Controller launch.

Not having a clue about the demand for your product and reservation orders being a year away is botching.
