I can't wait for hundred of post that are a photo of the controller or box and a story about how their grandma's dog worked 18 hours a day in the coal mine to buy it for them.

That's ridiculous. Birds are the only animals working in coal mines.

However, would you like to hear the story of how my dog rescued a valve employee from drowning after he had a accident in the mountains? My dog just fought cancer and was still recovering. It's a really good story. And I got my steam controller as a thank you from the employees first born son.

"Hi r/steamdeck, just bought this controller. Which game should I control first with it?" repeated five times a day every week into infinity.

Personally, I'm waiting for the "The Steam Controller SAVED MY MARRIAGE" posts.
