You can't just wave a magic wand and have a company be capable of making millions of units. Edit: It took several months after launch to clear the backlog and allow people to just order a Steam Deck, and it got occasionally backordered for several more months in some markets after that. Adding the constraint of being supply limited on joysticks would have almost definitely made that worse. permalink fedilink source parent [–] klay@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago Dude, no need to be a dick about it.
