In 2018 a group of Valve staff tried to figure out just how efficient they were being—and found they were making more money per head than Apple, Facebook, and nearly every tech giant out there (www.pcgamer.com)

Just to add: the Steam Controller may have been a commercial flop, but I still maintain that it is one of the best controllers out there, in particular for playing strategy games from the couch (right pad > mouse). I still use mine regularly and have a couple backups. The price of the Steam Controllers now reflects that it's technically a niche success.

Edit: and the dual trackpad setup plus integrated configurator technically does live on for the Steam Deck

Trackpads have been quite nice on the Steam Deck. I've used it for papers please so normal mouse games seem great for it. And touch menus for shortcuts have been handy.

I'm really sad I missed the chance to get a Steam Controller.
