How do we get silicon manufacturers to get on board with this concept?

Kinda feel like a 600 dollar device should be supported for at least a decade.

Fix income and wealthy inequality and break up large businesses to force competition. .

That’s the long-term goal, and I’m fully on board, but how can we work within the system to accomplish this in a five-year timeline?

Woah is me, whatever will the biggest name in the PC gaming industry do?

Were you trying to say “woe?”

Yes, but the point is, they dont have any sway? Theres no way a multi billion dollar company can get a service contract for a decade? Sure, bud. Sure.

They dropped support for the 2015 Steam Controller 3 years ago. If you want to use it on modern versions of steam, you need to use a 3rd-party firmware update tool.

what do you mean? I can still play with the old steam controller
PumaStoleMyBluff@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
There was some window of time where it was available as an update in Steam, but it has been removed. If you didn’t update it during that window you have to use the 3rd party tool (exactly once, not to play every time).

I doubt this is even Steam’s fault at this point, I’d almost guarantee every supplier has cut them off due to volume requirements and redirecting production to you know what.

Towards the Torment Nexus, right?

Yes, we need the Torment Nexus as quickly as possible. Imagine how horrible it would be if we were not the first ones to have a Torment Nexus!

Don’t want to get left behind.

This is exactly the point I was making in my comment. It’s basically impossible to find a supplier that will guarantee a decade lifespan for a nontrivial IC.
