  The reason it isn’t available in the EU, yet, is that it isn’t CE certified.

    I know. But why?

      The creator mentioned why on the discord mentioned in the post above. The jist of the reasoning is cost.

        But I don’t get it. How many steam decks have been sold in Europe? How can that not be a market for them? Getting the CE label later may work out, but don’t they need the money now?

      CE certification is a process that takes time and money to perform

        CE mark is a self-approved, it is neither an actual certification nor is there is a process or money required. It’s simply a promise from the manufacturer that the product “conforms with European health, safety, and environmental protection standards.”

        It either does that and they can put a CE mark on it, or it doesn’t and that product is never going to be available in the EU as-is.
