Comment on Not only will the new Steam Controller scream at you but it can play tunes as well
Cethin@lemmy.zip 3 weeks agoSound is just vibrations. If your vibration controls are good enough, they can reproduce sounds too. Sure, they “wasted” time writing software to do it, but it’s insignificant. The hardware is there anyway. They might as well include it as a feature.

I mean, they could also make a detachable fallic extension so you can also stimulate yourself. after all the vibrations are there so they might as well include this other feature.
I’d even argue it would be more useful than what they did, but that’s a matter of personal tastes.

Definitely more useful, but it requires adding something. This feature doesn’t. It’s already there.

oh, you think the time to do that is significant?
what a disappointment…
Cethin@lemmy.zip 3 weeks ago
I think it isn’t significant. I assume you made a mistake in your comment.
But yeah, it probably took very little time. The software already exists. I’m not sure if they used an existing library or wrote their own, but it isn’t complicated. Not to mention, I’m pretty sure the original Steam Controller did this too, so it was written then, not now, if they wrote it themselves.

They released all the CAD files so the modding community can do it themselves.

nice, they thought about everything!
now the only thing left to see is if it is a good controller, but all in all who cares when we got so many features already, am I right?
