Honestly, I wanted to ditch the left trackpad for a D-pad and a couple more buttons on the back, but that’s all I really wanted. I found myself playing more FPS titles with the Steam Controller than with K+M because the trackball mouse feature worked very well for quick coarse camera movements and gyro aiming improved my fine camera movements for lining up shots.

Tbf, they sold the Steam Controller for a while, and eventually dropped the price to $5 just to clean out the rest of their stock- and that was the end of a product line instead of the older, cheaper version of a current product.

Alternatively, they may have realized that some people who want the Steam Deck but cannot afford it justify the OLED model as their first handheld PC would most likely go to a competitors’ product instead, or write off handheld PCs as unattainable due to cost.

For my part, I was on the fence about the LCD model when it came out because I didn’t think I’d have enough use case scenarios to justify the initial cost, and only after someone I know upgraded to the OLED and gifted me their old LCD model did I actually find out what I was missing out on. Now that I’ve had one for the better part of a year, I can say that the LCD model works for my needs.

If I had any complaints, it’s that the touchpad is too low in its position and too square for me to comfortably use for FPS games, and the select & start buttons are placed in such a way that I have to reach my thumb over their respective analog sticks just to reach, which feels awkward sometimes; I feel that the touchpad and analog stick positions should’ve been swapped- though iirc the OLED has the same form factor, so it’s not an issue exclusive to the LCD model. I’m also coming from the perspective of a Steam Controller fan, too, which to me is nearly perfect as a controller. (I only wish the left pad was just a dedicated d-pad, better analog emulation when using keyboard inputs, and as many back paddles as the Steam Deck.)

There’s a couple. For one, they specifically promoted her on Twitter even though she’d been monetizing the work of other people without their knowledge or consent, and her use of their videos are practically never transformative enough to fall under fair use. It may have been a while ago, but a company with very aggressive copyright practices promoting a content thief doesn’t look great.

She escalated an issue she’s having on YouTube by allegedly engaging in offline harassment and doxxing his home address to millions of her followers on Instagram. YouTube is inextricably linked to this because her videos, and his videos criticizing them, are hosted by YouTube, and YouTube is earning ad revenue from all of that. She may have used Instagram to perform the alleged harassment, but people tend to follow online personalities on multiple social media sites, so there’s definitely audience crossover.

Her audience trends young, and she’s had at least one or two videos taken down for violating community guidelines involving bullying, iirc. At the moment, there are rumors that a video of her on Omegle doing blatantly illegal shit has been reported to the FBI, and that the video had been up on her YouTube channel for nine years, though the video has since been deleted.

He’s not calling for YouTube to act just on the offline harassment, but the full collection of provable bad behaviors on the site on top of the potential harm he and his family could face as a result of her present illegal actions and access to a platform with a lot of reach.
