This is an absolutely brilliant move by Valve. Get more buyers purely for the quirky behavior of the controller, then sell even more when people accidentally break them from throwing them on the ground. They’re just printing money at this point.
think about what game devs are going to be able to use this for - it’s going to attract a very strange, and very fucking cool new type of gameplay interaction. Horror games alone throbbing a bump-bump pulse, cutesy interactions with purring virtual animals, like, shit man, this is gonna be fun!
If I end up buying one, this would be the reason

Another thread reminded me of the good ol Wii days, where the Wiimote did sounds for every character in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
It sounded like shit, but damn was it memorable for 10 year old kids. “Fight me!” “Prepare yourself!”
hell yeah
Wouldn’t surprise me if it weren’t intended but something they had in the dev build to test vibration based haptic audio.
