What a mess this whole thing has been. Shame.

How the prices have skyrocketed, the delays, the fact that when all this was announced it seemed like it would all new a slam dunk. Like after the OG steam controller failed they learned and the steam deck was amazing and they were taking what they learned and making three great pieces of hardware. Like nothing could stop the new releases from being awesome.

Then, AI wrecked havoc.

In the absolute lack of communication from valve way. Peek over on reddit and you'll see

Edit: specifically the steam frame subreddit

I peeked. It didn't seem that bad, just memes and shitposts.

I also don't mind releases taking the "when it's ready" approach. It's kind of refreshing actually.
