Comment on The Steam Frame Officially Has FCC Certification To Sell In The USA - Steam Deck HQ

Can we please stop constantly suggesting there’s mass scale scalping of Valve hardware? The Steam Deck and Steam Machine both had queue requirements to precent an individual from buying a ton of hardware.
You could find a dozen or so people selling their one spot in line to buy a *single * device. That’s not wide-scale scalping.

That may have been true for the steam machine, but the Steam Deck absolutely got scalped heavily at release. I know, because I was one of those scalpers. (I was a poor student that had to make ends meet somehow) If you had hundreds of old steam accounts, for example because you botted CS:GO item drops, then it was very easy money
