Steam

Damn. Here I was, totally forgot the controller launched when it did only to remember halfway through the day and succesfully order one. Only issue I had was that the payment processor was busy, so I had to try a few times.

Holy shit, backlogged into 2027? I really wanted to buy two on release day, but by the time I managed to get through the chaos I ended up with only one, and as a result I can’t even queue again. Not complaining and I feel very lucky to have one, but it’s insane that there’s no way to get a second one for a long time

It's that bad, huh

Well, I'm pretty dismayed that I'll have to wait for so many (more) months. At least they (finally) gave a timeline though, sheesh.

What a trainwreck. I really hope the other releases go smoother, but my expectations are not very high at this point.

I put in a reservation 23 minutes after they opened and I am within the first window, for whoever that helps. Seems like people who reserved the day after or later are in the second window.

Weird that this is in my New Comments feed and yet there are currently no comments.

I will say for me personally, although I 100% expected technical glitches and outages during the initial launch, I was still very disappointed that it happened again and so predictably. And obviously I was disappointed to leave empty handed.
