I tested this out last night. It took a few tries and my wife thought I was crazy till it screamed out. 11/10 would buy again.
what ?
When you drop the Steam controller it plays the Wilheim scream noise. They were trying it out repeatedly agitating their wife in trying something so senseless until it worked to her astonishment.
no, really ?
that’s real… amazing

I was responding earnestly because I thought it was polite. That’s my mistake.
I don’t understand
Oh sorry, it’s a common thing in my area that that’s a sarcastic response. I thought you baited me.
I read it wrong. Apologies.
Anyways, I was entirely serious … it’s a weird feature to put into a controller but I get the nerd factor appeal of it. I can’t confirm it first hand though, I’m waiting to get my hands on one.
ok no issues yea the comic was very confusing at first
Thanks for answering, I’m just seeing all this 🤣 and yes are accurate I did test it like that
HAHAHAHA!!!
Scream Controller
GLaDOS/GabeN: They’re sentient, you know. I think that one was about to say “I love you”.
It’s beyond silly. And I love it.
But I also hate it because I don’t want to drop my controller, but I love that it screams when I do.
“If we’re not gonna have planned obsolescence, let’s make it so people wanna drop their controllers on purpose!”
I love that it feels clear that Steam employees love their jobs.
Ok, now I’m sold.
I love that this is how I find out about this.
This is funny
Let’s be honest, i would still buy it.
Probably it logs the impact acceleration event, and denies your warranty claim.
Engineer needed to tune/test it, and this was the easiest way to find out when the event triggers.
Made it fun,
And someone said, “Lets keep it in there”
And so it be
Considering its using the habtic motors, probably more likely used to test the capabilities of the controller
