    Fuck. I was hoping to buy 4 for my kids. Imagine 5-8 y/o holding $400 in their hands.

        They clearly meant the cumulative age when two of the four children are holding the controllers together (must be a new Gen Alpha & Beta activity). The youngest child is 2 years old, the twins are 3 years old and the big boss is already 5 years old. There is no other reasonable way to interpret this.

          I meant my 2 kids and 2 friends of them. Edited for clarity. 4 kids = 400 USD. Pray they don’t throw a tantrum.

        That is quite a lot comparatively, although the more you add, the shared costs dilute more. Plus, we have to take into account the Deck is/was sold with an almost insignificant profit margin.

          Yeah, they undersold it for sure. I suppose there’s less reason for Valve to do so with the controller, and the days of budget option electronics are pretty much gone anyway.
