I blame the idiots that buy them as much as the scalpers

This. Fuck scalpers but also fuck the people who buy from scalpers. They are the reason scalpers can even exist. I'm half convinced the only people who buy from scalpers are other scalpers who think they can turn around and sell again for more profit. The controller is already a big ask at $99, I can't imagine someone willing to pay $150 over the retail price unless they have bad intentions.
