Gaming hardware launches can often feel like a warzone, especially when new bits of technology are hotly anticipated. That said, I feel like most manufacturers have learned by now that reselling is a common plague if left unchecked, and many now do what they can to defend consumers against it. That doesn't seem to be the case with Valve's new PC controller, which is already seeing inflated resale prices on eBay.
Valve's new Steam Controller launched on May fourth (May it be with you, and such), and in both the US and UK, it sold out almost immediately. The issue is that Valve only tends to sell its hardware through the Steam store, so without any stock being split between wider retailers, chaos is beginning to ensue.
