MODERATORS
Most accounts make a purchase, as its a requirement to unlock most of Steam's features and most accounts are in good standing.
A purchase within the last year would be better, but I think they are not concerned with scalpers. This system makes people have less fear of missing out and gives Valve more numbers of how many they actually need to produce.
If you know anything about production pipelines, you also know that there's zero chance that the production pipeline can respond in any way to the amount of reservations... Every controller that gets produced in at least the next year has already been ordered by Valve... Any scaling of the production pipeline in response to reservations won't happen for a very long time.
