Valve has already sent support for the new Steam Controller upstream: https://www.phoronix.com/news/New-Steam-Controller-SDL
I mean those are idiotic comparisons. I can purchase a gaming system from the '70s and still play it without having to update a controller or do anything like that. I can pull out my PS1 PS2 or PS3 and have them work 100% fine with no issues. I can pull out my original Xbox with no problems. Because they don’t require constant updating configuring or fiddling with because they just work. And talking about Google anything being supported is just dumb. Hell they don’t even support their own products beyond a couple years regardless of anything. I don’t know why you’re so upset about these facts but facts are what they are. Hell they’ve been promising a steam 2 controller since I think 2017 or something like that just like Half-Life 3.
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?
