As per supply, unfortunately all the ai companies have bought all of next year’s ram
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.

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

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.
