Valve has decided to discontinue the production of its official command for the computer, so that the clearance of stock leads to a price reduction.
Valve will stop producing units of its official command, the Steam Controller, after the newly initiated offers of autumn in Steam. The arrival of Black Friday thus facilitates that the American giant has temporarily lowered the price of the controller, which happens to have a price of 5.50 euros while stocks last or until the end of the promotion, which ends on December 3.
The Steam Controller was presented there by 2013 as a key peripheral to understand the Steam Machines hardware project – you can know its history in this report – those computers where all the hardware was condensed so that the user had a computer-console ready to Steam without mounting anything. That idea did not end up being implemented in the market and its adoption rate was negligible in the PC player market; same luck as the Steam Controller, which has been news especially in its sales periods.
This is a particular wireless controller to have two touch surfaces where the joysticks and crosshead would be in other more traditional controllers, a solution that sought to facilitate the sensations of a mouse. That pad has haptic technology and delighted some in certain games. Not surprisingly, his success has not finished arriving and Valve has preferred to discontinue its large-scale production.
Steam has also passed its cleaning filter in recent days before the arrival of the autumn offers. The company led by Gabe Newell has eliminated more than 2900 clone games and does not respect the rights of third parties, which is usually called "shovelware" in English.

You can also take a look at the offers that companies such as Sony and Microsoft have prepared in PlayStation and Xbox One console packs. In 2018, Spain spent more than 78 million euros on Black Friday, a figure that is expected to be exceeded comfortably in 2019.
