Don't buy the new Steam Controller.It requires proprietary firmware.Enough has been said. Valve can't be trusted.
@e277f9e5075a can't wait for GNU/Controller
@60a7d21d3d03 Most controllers don't even have updateable firmware and are just "dumb" input devices without anyproprietary software.
@e277f9e5075a @60a7d21d3d03 > most controllersI guess you include old hardware and the numerous cheap Chinesium here?
@4817ae51eb52 @60a7d21d3d03 Yes
@e277f9e5075a @60a7d21d3d03 Not quite sure it would be reasonable to expect any company to put out somethinglike the Valve controller with 100% open firmware. It would be nice of course, but I don't expect that to happenanytime soon.
@4817ae51eb52 @60a7d21d3d03 I do not think it is unreasonable to expect any manufacturer of any hardware in theentire world to provide the source code with their product.Just release it. Just add a license file and set that git repo to "public". It takes 1 minute of work.
@e277f9e5075a @60a7d21d3d0320 days of desperately trying to ask mr sales for oermission because muh intellectual property
@m मी @60a7d21d3d03 I thought Valve had a flat corporate hierarchy.

@m मी @60a7d21d3d03 That also sounds terrible but at least this is free software so you can fix these issues in your own fork if you wanted to and you don't rely on their devs.
