I was so excited for the Steam Controller when it was announced, I preordered one. It finally showed up one day and I was shocked to discover that it was basically a cheap hunk of plastic. To make matters worse, it took a bunch of AA batteries to function… When I felt how light it was and saw how cheaply made it was I was sad, but when I realized there was no cable to plug into it to keep it charged and that I would need a truck load of AA batteries to keep it going during a marathon gaming session, I straight up threw it in the trash and pretended like I lost the money on the street or in the laundry. It was the only way to make myself feel better about it.
