It happened again for the Steam Deck OLED. It happened again now with the Steam Controller. It will happen again with the Steam Machine and Steam Frame. It seems like they haven't bothered to do anything about it. They always underestimate demand and their servers always crap out under the load.

Probably thought the controller wouldn't have as high a demand because it's a controller. Boy were they wrong.
