Who says I'm upset?
You're the one who is butthurt because you don't think that valve did good enough by your standards.
The flaw in your comparison, especially with any wired controllers is that they basically didn't have firmware. At all.
Meanwhile, the og steam controller didn't even have an associated console.
So the comparison I'm going to draw from this, since people update their computers.... Is that it's a bit like asking Xbox 360 controllers to interoperate with the Xbox series x....
The controller gets left behind while the hardware it is supposed to attach to, morphs into something entirely different.
I don't see PlayStation controller ports (from the og PlayStation era) on PS4s. So why are we bitching about steam controllers when Sony won't continue to support the og PlayStation controllers on the PS4....
The fuck are we even talking about anymore?
Can you hear yourself?
