"Steam Controller ran out faster than we anticipated, and we hate that not everyone who wanted one was able to get it. We’re working on getting more in stock and will have an update on expected timeline soon."

You can buy counter strike and tf2 defunct trading platform accounts that are decades old for pennies on the dollar.

Dang, I didn't know that. Just gets more complicated!

Maybe active accounts that are old lol

Look at this comment chain is ideas that are good in theory

I’ve had friends who haven’t bought a game in a very long time and still plays games like it’s 2013 (wish I could do that). On the other hand I have a cousin who me and another cousin are tying to get into pc gaming, and thus has a very new account with practically no games, and might continue playing on his Xbox till he can a steam machine or decent pc

I for one would also love to stop scalpers and make a flag of their skin but that’s really hard when protections have to also not alienate any actual customers
