Oops here’s my point in a clearer manner. I don’t mean to tie it to the price of a game. Im just using that as a reference point

I don’t know the internals of their price decision, but IMO the controller should be sold at close to margin or at a loss. Their real money maker is in selling games and steam item trading. Their hardware should be accessible. The goal shouldn’t be to get a profit out of the controller, it should be to make people stick with the platform and create brand loyalty.

But who knows, maybe the costs of making one is just that high.

They have different controllers at different price points, but my opinion is that a first party controller should only cost about as much as a AAA game at MSRP. A controller should be 40 to 70 usd. Retailers can adjust their price. Third party manufacturers can have more lenience in how they price

Still bummed about the 100 dollar price tag

I think I’ll try it if there’s a sale, but that’s a hefty price for a controller. I’m fine with just running m&k for now

It’s called breaking boundaries, just on the other end! Let’s see if we can reach 30 fps by 2026
