Valve's Steam Controller launch on May 4th was quickly overwhelmed by scalpers, sparking widespread community frustration. In response, Valve has implemented a reservation system, mirroring the Steam Deck's successful queue. However, the article argues this is a "band-aid, not a cure," with regional delays creating new vulnerabilities for scalpers to exploit.

#Steam qui modifie les conditions d'achat de sa toute nouvelle manette #SteamController afin d'éviter l'abus des revendeur·ses avec un système de réservation et des conditions préalables (voir le billet).

Début des réservations possible à partir du 08 mai à 19h, mais les prochains réapprovisionnements débuteront que dans quelques semaines en Europe.

Dommage de ne pas avoir fait cela dès la sortie, le 04 mai dernier, mais c'est bien que #Valve s’adapte à la situation.

Since demand far exceeded Valve's own expectations for the new Steam Controller, they're implementing a reservation system.
