I call bullshit on that. The OG controller also “doesn’t work outside of steam” and “requires steam for full functionality”, but two weeks after lunch we already had open source projects that handled it, the same thing will happen here.
Requiring people to reverse engineer their own driver to avoid vendor lock-in is an objectively shitty move from Valve.
And the last time I tried them these 3rd party drivers didn’t work all that well, just because it technically works it’s a little useless if it’s not exposing all the functions to customize the controller.
If anything, more reviews should lower the score for shitty software.
I love the OG Steam Controller, and I’m getting the new one for sure, but requirement to use Steam for full functionality is a massive downside.
