    Deck owners are about to be an exclusive club. It’s sad.

      I did not consent to exclude others. Fuck AI.

        Nor did I, gaming is for everyone.

    This is unfortunate for Indie Game devs too since I suspect deck owners will be more likely to purchase lesser known titles on the cheap.

    I definitely have been buying more indie games since my deck has been my main gaming rig. I don’t have to worry about framerates dropping and many are deck certified which makes it easier to take a chance.

    Just use a VPN and buy one in, um, in, ah, let’s see… Antarctica?

      Directions unclear. Currently freezing in Antarctica, still can’t buy a Steam Deck.

      But the penguins are cute.

    definitely a shame.

    i hope they can at least get the controller out.

      The controller requires neither large memory nor storage so it shouldn’t be affected.

    Let’s hope the rage of the gamers can make Sam Altman and the whole goddamn tech bubble get what it deserves. /s

    Looks like I got one of the last ones. Just got mine delivered on Wednesday.

    Valve was powerful enough to spearhead good consumer software.

    Could they do the same for hardware?

      That will be tough. The problem is the chip fabs. The entire auto industry couldn’t get them to budge when they needed chips that the fabs didn’t want to make, so I don’t think Valve has any real chance.

        This. Building a new supply chain is no small feat and can take years of planning. We are all caught on our back foot by these contracts, unfortunately, even though no money has been spent and the data centers haven’t been built.

        We’re suffering for the collective delusion of billionaires.

        Valve chip fabs coming to an industrial park near you.

    I’m glad I got one for one my friend’s birthday. Given the price of computer parts, I figured it was only a matter of time before that either went out of stock or skyrocketed in price.

    I feel very fortunate for my excellent condition purchase off eBay.

    I think Australia still has stock. They have a warning about intermittent stock outages but all SKUs were showing estimated 3-5 business day delivery time frame when put in the cart. Unless I am misreading something.
