After Steam released its new Steam Controller on May 4, it immediately sold out. Valve then released the CAD files for the Steam Controller and its Puck under a CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 license, which means you can print and share your own creations as long as you do so under the same license. What do you think about this?

It's been a while since we last shared an update on CC signals and our work around AI and the commons. Over the past several months, we've been deep in research, in conversation, and in active collaboration with communities, policymakers, and practitioners to determine where we can act in ways that will have real impact. And through that work, CC signals has evolved.
Read our new blog post to learn more about this journey.
