  I’ve had mine for a few weeks now and have experienced a few issues.

  Mostly with game performance after it goes to sleep. Not sure why. Doom eternal was struggling at 45fps, but then I rebooted it and was getting 200fps in the same area on the same settings. It’s made much worse if my son was playing a game and put it to sleep while the game was open. Even switching profiles doesn’t improve it.

  It gets stuck in a loop sometimes as well with CEC, I ended up turning it all off.

  Sometimes it wakes itself up after going to sleep via the power menu, but if I let it wait 30 min it sleeps on its own no problem.

  But other than that I love it. It’s such a great device and it has pretty good performance for its power usage.

  I have just started rebooting the machine after I wake it if I know the kids were using it.

  In a lot of countries casinos and gambling are perfectly legal. So why should loot boxes or blind packs be illegal but not casinos?

  Don’t get me wrong, I would rather buy a skin than risk money on a loot box, but at least with valve if you open the box and get something you don’t want you can sell it or trade it for something else.
