Which is not an issue I think and definitely not a reason not to release the controller potentially months ahead.
Comment on Steam Machine update, Valve now says all three new products will ship this year (Updated)
Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz 1 month agoThey’re probably going to have an option to buy it bundled with the Steam Machine for a discount, if the release it early then people who buy it as a stand-alone would feel like they missed out on that deal.

I think the bigger issue would still be supply. If they sell out of controllers from people buying them for their Deck/PC, they may not have enough for the Machines, delaying them further.

The Steam Machine will not require a Steam Controller.

True, but I bet there will be a very small amount of people who have the Machine & not the controller, considering that it’s more console than PC.

You can use any controller with it, though. I bet there will be a lot of people who love their Xbox, PS5 or Gamesir controller and just want to stick with that to save $50 or whatever the price difference will be.

Valve isn’t a corner store with no inventory tracking.
