I mean, they aren’t going to stop making them if there are people buying them. I’m sure that, at some point, there will be enough manufactured to catch up with demand. 2026 has been a pretty exasperating year to try to get ahold of a lot of pieces of hardware, I have to say. I’m wondering if — assuming Valve still is trying to release the Steam Machine this year, which according to the last news I’ve seen, they’re still saying that they’re going to do — this shortage is gonna dick up their Steam Machine sales. I mean, the Steam Controller is a nice-to-have on a regular PC, but for people with a Steam Machine in the living room, they probably are going to want it even more — like, there it’s a lot more important to have the touchpads to replace a mouse, remote power-on capability, etc.

I was thinking about getting one, but then I read more about it and realised you can’t really use it without the Steam client. Kind of put me off since I have a large part of my library on GOG. Maybe this won’t be a problem in the future though.
