Steam Controller Will Be Restocked Soon, and Valve Has a Plan to Stop Resellers From Buying Everything Up

Valve says it will restock the new Steam Controller soon after it sold out in about 30 minutes.

Resale listings appeared quickly at inflated prices, including on eBay, prompting anti-scalper measures.

Future sales will use a reservation queue, single-unit limits, account standing checks, and prior purchase requirements.

The goal is to give genuine buyers a better shot at buying the controller in the US, Canada, UK, EU, and Australia.
