During Steam’s Autumn Sale, the Steam Controller was selling at a huge 90% discount. Unsurprisingly, it sold out within the first day. Most importantly, Valve has no plans to bring the controller back, meaning that if you didn’t manage to get one in the first few hours of sale, you were doomed.

Now, according to VG247, several users across Reddit and ResetEra have all received emails informing them that their orders containing Steam Controllers have been cancelled and refunded.
Some were left wondering exactly why, while others reached out to Steam Support and were given an explanation that Valve “mistakenly” took more orders than it could fulfil.

“During our recent sale, we mistakenly took more orders for the Steam Controller than we were able to fulfil. As we are no longer producing this product, we are unable to send you a Steam Controller and have refunded your purchase.”

Techspot: Valve ran out of $5 Steam Controllers and is canceling orders
The company isn't making any more

Facepalm: When Valve decided to put the Steam Controller out of its misery by discontinuing it last week, the price was cut to just $5 from the usual $50. But the company took more orders than it had stock, leaving some buyers to find their purchases had been canceled.

While the Steam Controller sold over 500,000 units in the first six months following release, it was never able to build on that initial success. PC gamers, it seems, prefer to use either a console controller or a mouse/keyboard combo, not a hybrid that attempts to combine the best of both. Valve tried to push its device as the perfect companion for a Steam Machine, but we know how those turned out.
