Valve Opens Steam Controller Reservations on May 8 With Anti-Scalper Account Requirements

Valve is opening a reservation queue for the Steam Controller on Friday, May 8 at 10 AM Pacific. This move comes after the controller sold out within 30 minutes of its launch on May 4 and appeared on resale sites with markups ranging from 100% to 461%. The reservation system is intended to prioritize legitimate buyers and includes account restrictions to limit scalper access.
