During May 13, 2026, several reports appeared on social networks that gained varying resonance. At the center of the technological discussions, the channel ChampVG reports on a strange malfunction in the new Steam controller, claiming that "the new controller, if you throw it on the floor, it cries". The report, which received over 21,000 views, became viral due to its bizarre nature, with the channel tmym0506 responding cynically: "Oh good person, it's a good thing you're crying".
