While Valve's upcoming living room-friendly gaming PC, the Steam Machine, has been delayed due to memory shortages, its new premium $99 Steam Controller PC gaming accessory thankfully came out on schedule on May 4. Sadly, though, the manufacturer clearly didn't have enough supply to meet the ravenous demand for the controller, as it sold out mere hours after launch.
This has frustrated countless PC gamers who were hoping to get their hands on Valve's advanced gamepad, especially since scalpers — individuals who buy new products in bulk and then resell them for significantly higher prices — have begun to list Steam Controllers for upwards of $399 on sites like eBay. People are angry, to put things lightly. And they're right to be.
