I would be genuinely shocked if they actually manage to do anything remotely substantial to make games run on Linux. This sounds more like them jumping late on the Steam train (pun intended) as they have been doing up to this point.

HL1 is a great game, but not essential for enjoying 2.

Some that come to mind:

• Half Life 1/2

• L4D 1/2

• Portal (1 for sure, 2 maybe?)

• The Stanley Parable

• Ultrakill

• Super Hexagon (depending on your TV’s latency…)

• Mirrors Edge (maybe)

• Doom (maybe)

• Almost any 2D game

The Stream Controller is $100. Considering the quality is on-par with the PS/Xbone controllers at $70-80 and has the extra features, I doubt you’ll find one cheaper. I’m pretty sure it’s the first of its kind with trackpads as well.

Talk about boneheaded. This idea would have been an easy shoe-in for all parties involved. How is a company whose whole business model is to work with licensing designs manage to forget like the first step in licensing?

For me, the trackpads are specifically useful for mouse controls, not for precision. I’m a couch gamer and tired of having to reach for my mouse or keyboard just to do one thing and then grab my controller again.

With the trackpads, I also get the virtual keyboard. Another killer feature.

Yep. The trackpads are 90% of why I want this controller. It’s such a killer feature.

Looks like they’re using standard rechargeable AAs, so very replaceable.

I just want the controller with trackpads and back buttons.

You should even be able to connect using BT assuming it’s a wireless controller.

Honestly, I’ve always gone to a retail store if quality is a concern. Name brand SanDisks have literally never failed me. Just make sure you get at least U3/A2 class for speed.
