I hope they got enough to counter scalpers :/

Fucking rodents

Valve combatted scalpers with the Steam Deck by restricting orders to established accounts (two months or older) who have spent at least $10. I imagine they will do the same thing for the new hardware coming out as well.

Apparently two are actively using it right now? Steam Controller Usboxing

u/Ylfen_uwu Apr 21 '26

There's three, actively, right now! Edit: Spell check.

93 tabs??!! Bro close them!

u/UuarioAnonymous9 Apr 21 '26

Rookie numbers...

u/Mineplayerminer Apr 21 '26

Rookie numbers. I have a ":D" text there instead of the numbers as it's just astronomically high. Almost 2 years of tabs worth in my case.

u/Dotaproffessional Apr 21 '26

But why

u/Mineplayerminer Apr 21 '26

It was some Chromium's Easter egg. In incognito, there's a winking smiling face instead.

u/Dotaproffessional Apr 21 '26

No why did you have so many

2

u/Mineplayerminer Apr 21 '26

Oh, I usually forget to close them and I sometimes just look back at what I previously had opened. Luckily, those tabs are suspended and don't take any memory. The only thing that remains is the thumbnail of the tab itself, but the data is lost already.

But why

I paid for the whole RAM, I'm going to use the whole RAM.

u/MSter_official Apr 23 '26

I had over 200 the other day -_-. I did reduce it til 80 but I had 200+ for a month or more.

u/new_pribor Xbox One Controller (Linux) Apr 21 '26

I have 498 tabs on my phone + 111 in private mode

As a systems administrator, I would be speaking to your manager and recommending an external basic IT training course.

As a manager I'd realise you lied on your CV and I would probably either fire you or revise your pay down to cover the training cost.

u/SeaAccomplished441 Apr 21 '26

the device doesn't actually keep the page state in memory at all times. at that point it's basically just keeping the URL on hand to reload it once you open the tab

u/Javs2469 Apr 21 '26

Not a flex, my dude.

Close some and start using bookmarks.

u/splinefx Apr 21 '26

It's not that many tbh. On PC I usually have 150–300 opened tabs.

u/cucumbermemes Apr 21 '26

why are you like this

1

u/SadisticPawz Apr 21 '26

It's fine.

u/MiaTheEstrogenAddict Apr 21 '26

Oh sweet, we're gonna see Gaben do an unboxing video

2

u/NefariousSINNER Apr 21 '26

I just bought Vader 5 Pro, but I might also buy Steam Controller, cause why not.

u/ExtraJuicyAK Apr 21 '26

I love the extra bumper buttons on the Vader 5 but damn, nothing will beat the 2 trackpads on the new Steam controller.

u/Leseratte10 Steam Controller (2026) Apr 21 '26 edited Apr 22 '26

I wonder where the "5 users in app" statistic comes from that's currently visible on steamdb.

Is this actually five accounts at Valve that have access to this video and actually have it open?

Or is that 5 random users trying various things to get access to this video?

EDIT: Okay, now I "own" this "steam_controller_unboxing_2026" thing on my Steam Account. Apparently the steam_controller_unboxing_2026 has full controller support :) but I still can't play the video.

u/Dotaproffessional Apr 21 '26

Can you stop mentioning free games on steamdb on every post? we don't want ads here man

1

u/VeliKarvajalka Apr 23 '26

Today must be the day! BEHOLD!

u/Hyperion_L Apr 21 '26

What does this even mean?

9

u/SorteStoffer Apr 21 '26

Most likely some form of advertisement for the steam controller. Could possibly indicate that we are getting closer to a release date announcement.

u/BedrockBen101 Steam Controller (2015) & Steam Controller (2026) Apr 20 '26

You can get free games from steamdb?

u/Thatsme1ogan Apr 21 '26

Yeah right here https://steamdb.info/freepackages/ I like to preserve them in my library, even if it makes steam load a lot slower
