Sounds promising. I can see a lot of people interested in such a device, especially that it has a full Chrome browser, something that no other console/media center has.

Free and open source RTS 0 A.D. Alpha 25 to release in June with feature-freeze imminent

Quoting: omer666I really hope some day they will get to the beta stage, it's such a great effort.
I really don't understand why it's still labelled as alpha when it's more polished than many released commercial games. It's really production ready and doesn't need the alpha label, nor even the beta label.

Valve help developers into adding more controller support with new stats

Too bad Valve never really wanted to sell them to anyone. Just like the Steam Link. If they'd actually been easily available for purchase then they would have sold a ton. In Norway, you couldn't really get one outside of Ebay.
I agree. Valve doesn't seem to be serious about selling hardware. I still remember the lame launch of the Steam Machines.

Too bad they are discontinued. We desperately need a second version.

The Steam Controller deserves to be wildly successful. Valve just seems pretty meh when they market hardware.
Indeed. A second version with a better build quality is needed, and is probably all it takes to have the steam controllers take off, aside from better marketing that is. Seriously, why did Valve market these as keyboard/mouse replacement rather than simply a better controller with higher precision?

Why the hate? Out of all the big companies, Google is the most respectful of open source, and the only big company that always supported Linux with their tools.
