Why didn't Valve implement this for the release? All of their hardware releases have been popular, and with the pent-up demand after the gabecube and steam frame delay, the sheer amount of people trying to buy the controller shouldn't have been surprising.

Either on purpose to drum up the headlines or just general blissful ignorance of Valve
Guess it was a good move on my part to make a 2nd Steam account years ago and accidentally make a purchase with it.
Fuck off scalper

Lmao, triggered much? I got 2 on the first release one for me and the other for my grandkids who used to use my old Steam Controller before it died. Ive probably got more of a right to get and reserve it than you do.
Also getting angry at people over a botched hardware release is a sure sign you should relook at your priorities in life. Valve already admitted a mistake and they are making improvements so everyone who wants one can get ones, which is literally the best way to fuck scalpers.

Holy shit the entitlement is insane. Do you hear yourself? You've already purchased two and plan to get more while other people weren't able to get any. The reservation system is for people in that situation, not your greedy ass to get a third unit.
