Comment on Steam Controller delivery vent

Instead getting mad at Valve, one should be mad at scalpers and UPS.

¿Por qué no los dos?

Your comment admits that Valve fucked up the first wave, then circle back and say people shouldn’t be mad at Valve. You can be mad at more than one thing.

You seem to not realize that Valve didn’t “fuck up” (or created scarcity). It is the scalpers and only scalpers to blame.

  Valve didn’t “fuck up” […] It is the scalpers and only scalpers to blame.
  
  This you?
  
  It was wrong from Valve to not do the pre-order dance and special ordering process they already did before.
  
  Make up your mind. You said you agreed with the commenter above, said Valve was in the wrong, and then when I suggest it’s okay to be mad at multiple parties, you switched your tune about Valve being in the wrong.
  
  To counter your analogy, it would be a like a shop owner had been robbed before and knows the method by which they have been robbed. They also have, in the past, successfully combated the robbers. Then, the shop owner announced a highly sought after new product and… took no precautions against the robbers. In fact, this is less of an analogy and just… what Valve did.
  
  You can be mad at the robbers and also be pretty annoyed with the shopkeeper for not doing the thing they had done in the past to successfully counteract robbers.

    Edited to add, I also kinda hate that analogy because in your analogy you’re painting Valve as a victim (having been robbed). Valve isn’t a victim here; they made bank.
    
    Wrong, Valve is a victim here. That’s the point. One should not be mad at a victim.
    
    Channel your hate towards who are the actual problem and causing this.
