That's...not very high. They probably make that amount whenever there is a Steam sale, in pure profit.

No It's not, but I'm glad there is competition in the digital distribution market. I don't want one company dominating everything.

No, but it's pretty high for the amount of money they would have made from controller sales.

The controller sales is such a small market, hell I still haven't even bought one.

It is $2.5 per controller. I do not think it is high.

This is the point where valve buys corsair and doesn't pay the fine.

Peanuts. They could pay these fines over and over and over again, it would still be much cheaper than buying Corsair.

It's pretty high. Look into revenue models for hardware electronics. The profit went rather poof. Valve's objective with the controller wasn't profit tho, it was marketing and creating an ecosystem, which arguably did not suffer.

i ever read somewhere sony dualshock4 build cost is only around $18 and msrp is $60 not sure how much for valve controller but accesories usually cheap to make, and that make profit for maker different to main hardware (console) maker usually not even made profit selling those what kinda interesting in this patent, is this related to corsair SCUF ? but i hear about it recently like last year (corsair bought scuf things), while steam controller already few years old right ?
