I'm out of the loop. What did the steam controller do.

    Despite not having a speaker the steam controller screams when you drop or throw it.

    Uses similar vibration-based haptic audio output as the Joycons or the Dualsense.

    Is this post a joke or are you alluding to functionality that exists on a software level in case a controller were to be released that did include a speaker?

    It uses the haptic motors to make a Wilhelm scream sound effect. Not a joke.

    You think they licensed that from...it would be Disney now?

    If I end up buying one, this would be the reason

    This is an absolutely brilliant move by Valve. Get more buyers purely for the quirky behavior of the controller, then sell even more when people accidentally break them from throwing them on the ground. They're just printing money at this point.

    YEP!

    think about what game devs are going to be able to use this for - it's going to attract a very strange, and very fucking cool new type of gameplay interaction. Horror games alone throbbing a bump-bump pulse, cutesy interactions with purring virtual animals, like, shit man, this is gonna be fun!

    Far as I'm concerned it's the new normal. (Loving it! and expect to be able to repair it for a loong time.)

    Reminds me how people into drones used to make their quads play entire songs with the motors and then would burn them out from overheating
