• now I need 2 steam controllers. One to drive around, and one to control the one driving around

    • You actually need 4, two to race each other, and two to control them.

      • this is how Valve offsets the Steam sale discounts. They’re a RC car company that also happens to sell video games to get you in the door.

    • You have to love all the enthusiasts coming together to find the best ways to not play games with their controllers.

      • Gamer with 2307 unplayed games in their Steam library:

        "I’m bored… Let’s see if my Steam Controller can bake cookies!

  • This would wear out the motors a lot, right? Not that people shouldn’t do what they want with their stuff, I would just be worried about wear and tear.

        • They’re brushless motors. That’s like being worried about heat death of universe. They will easily outlive you regardless of use.

          • Average lifetime for consumer brushless motors seems to be ~10,000 hours, so far from “the heat death of the universe”. Regardless, I’m not sure why you’re being so dismissive and rude about it.
