I was wrong about the Steam Controller.

Truth be told: I didn't want this thing.
But the new Steam Controller sits in a really interesting space between traditional console controllers and Valve’s bigger vision for Steam as a full gaming ecosystem.
In this video, I’m talking about the hardware, Steam Input, the puck, gyro aiming, living room PC gaming, and why this thing feels like not only a solid accessory, but also like an important piece of where Valve is heading next.
Thanks for watching, buds. Much love. 🙏
