Pretty much. Text too small? You need a new TV, new prescription, or need to sit closer. :D

I do the same. I've only run into a couple that are a little difficult to read, like FTL.

Wow... Just wow... The steam controller certainly doesn't look like it'll replace my wired 360 controller any time soon.

To me this compliments, rather than supplements.

Engadget had a handson:

To sum it up, they did not like it for twitch games but said it was good for slower paced games. But the reviewer admitted he was not much of a gamer.

Steam just announced that you can preorder the controller now. It's $50, and will be coming Nov/Dec, with some preorders shipping in October.

I'm still very interested. Not sure if I'm gonna preorder though. Either way, I'll be getting one.

I admit I'm intrigued by this controller's design.

Does anyone know if this thing will work outside of Steam? As in, can you play non-Steam PC games with it without needing Steam running in the background for driver integration?
