Steam hasn't advertised this easter egg at all, but have advertised all the "proper" features. The only people mentioning this are fans and journalists, many of which have already gone over a normal review of the controller, and just like to call out a fun easter egg when they see one.
right, because no such articles have ever been advertising. we are so lucky to have only objective and impartial reviews of products everywhere in the internet.
it's pretty telling of the userbase that all news you read are about this though. explains why you all got butthurt.
Sure, I don't doubt that steam pays for reviews and news coverage. But I'm going off of statements put out by the company, because if I don't, I'd just be speculating.
Again with your pointless rage bait. That's not an actual argument, you are just telling a lie as though it's a fact. That's what ragebaiters do, that's what bots do. I don't actually consume game journalism at all, the only place I will see it is when I read a headline on Lemmy. I haven't even read the article this post links to.
you are saying you don't read such articles but also state that I'm lying?
alrighty!
lol You've now slipped into the most pitiful version of rage bait, the kind that ignores the comment you are responding to. You got me, I was wrong. You aren't a bot, you're a happy, successful, self-actualized person.
you seem to think you are omniscient, concerning.
lol Sure bud
I'm confused about why you don't like fun things that take nothing away from the promised experience
have you used the controller already? because supposedly this won't take away anything from the experience.
