  With extremely limited supply anyone that doesn’t get Frame now, will probably have to pay an even higher price whenever stock is back…

  I remember when tech used to depreciate in price with age.

  They have 72 hours to actually go through with the purchase and then steam offers it to next person. Seems like fake reservations might slow things down a bit but not really remove supply

  It’s a somewhat solved problem already

  Glastonbury festival has made you register your name, address and a mugshot for about a decade or so now

  It gets printed on the ticket.

  If you don’t look like the person on the ticket and don’t have the ID of the person named, you’re not getting in

  Kinda invasive, but it’s basically killed touting

    I would rather let a few people scalp some devices then give up ownership over the devices I buy. I would not want valve to have a remote way to brick something I have bought.

    The fact you need an account in good standing and it’s limited to one per address helps a lot in cutting down on the number of devices that can be scalped. It is basically just a few individuals that can do that and not a few people systematically buying up all the stock at once to resell.

    I would rather them focus on upping the supply then preventing every single scalper.

      It being limited to one person address is a problem when you have a family though. Only single people are allowed to own this thing I guess. Can’t have gamer roommates.

      I get it but it’ll be years before I can buy this thing or the stream machine mostly likely and it’s for a variety of reasons. My husband actually put in for the lottery for the steam machine and didn’t get picked.

        When it is hard enough for 1 person in a household to even get one steam hardware to share I’m fine with the one address limit. A household having multiple devices is a luxury when it is hard enough getting even one.

        They have not.

        They have provided an IOU from the bank of “trust me bro, this shit’s gonna moon” same as everyone else in that circlejerk of stockmarket destruction.

        and the other side has said :
        “sure bro, we’ll set you aside a 100 million future rams” *wink*

        while announcing this big “sale” they have completed to boost their stock price.

        It’s fucking monopoly money to them and it’s going fuck everybody
