@bovdom @HardwareSteam Kinda. They start dishing out the order emails from the 29th but they also mention they'll be sending those out gradually for the rest of the year, so I'm not sure what to expect

[ᴀʟᴅᴇʀᴀᴛᴏᴍ @AlderAtom]

@TheNerdRecon Yeah, not ideal. I was in the queue for all of them and got the reservation for the entry level 512gb without controller. Is what it is though. Glad to have a reservation and already have the Steam Controller luckily

[ᴀʟᴅᴇʀᴀᴛᴏᴍ @AlderAtom]

@SteamDeckGaming Reservation for 512gb

[ᴀʟᴅᴇʀᴀᴛᴏᴍ @AlderAtom]

@Keith__Campbell @SteamDeckGaming I think you'll only get one email for the highest priced one available to you and taken off the list for the others. That's how I read Valves small print

[ᴀʟᴅᴇʀᴀᴛᴏᴍ @AlderAtom]

@TegridyGenetics @steammachineout @valvesoftware At this point, I think I preferred the blood bath of trying to get the Steam Controller over this lottery system. At least we all knew where we stood after a couple minutes of panic 🤣

[ᴀʟᴅᴇʀᴀᴛᴏᴍ @AlderAtom]

@TimSweeneyEpic @TheOtherFrost I think it's perfectly reasonable for a gamer to not what to engage with or fund the use of a technology that's responsible for making their hobby unaffordable for them

[ᴀʟᴅᴇʀᴀᴛᴏᴍ @AlderAtom]

@ChecWes @Gator_Chompz @SteamDeckGaming yeah that'll be a timezone thing. You can't do it simultaneously in all markets if its based on the 25th

[ᴀʟᴅᴇʀᴀᴛᴏᴍ @AlderAtom]

@Gator_Chompz @SteamDeckGaming They said within 24h we find out if we're reservation queue or waitlist. Your image is for once you're confirmed in the reservation queue over the waitlist

[ᴀʟᴅᴇʀᴀᴛᴏᴍ @AlderAtom]

@SteamDeckGaming Nope 😬

[ᴀʟᴅᴇʀᴀᴛᴏᴍ @AlderAtom]

@GinoTheGhost Shambles

[ᴀʟᴅᴇʀᴀᴛᴏᴍ @AlderAtom]

@DementorHere Yeah it's too pricey but I'm not sure where you heard its going to change gaming, replace consoles, push SteamOS mainstream. Nobody who knows their stuff was making those bold claims

[ᴀʟᴅᴇʀᴀᴛᴏᴍ @AlderAtom]

@GinoTheGhost Let's be honest, he never spent $14m on this and he doesn't care, $14m was spent somewhere, but not on this

[ᴀʟᴅᴇʀᴀᴛᴏᴍ @AlderAtom]

@EmEmEs2025 @diazjulio0071 @AnthropicAI How is this at all relevant to them wanting their money back for not being able to use the model they bought Max for?

[ᴀʟᴅᴇʀᴀᴛᴏᴍ @AlderAtom]

@GinoTheGhost Literally that South Park episode

[ᴀʟᴅᴇʀᴀᴛᴏᴍ @AlderAtom]

@shinobi602 Is this not the exact same strategy Phil Spencer laid out years ago?

[ᴀʟᴅᴇʀᴀᴛᴏᴍ @AlderAtom]

@tony_2290 @TtejNayr @KindaFunnyVids Maybe don't watch it first time on a reaction show, if you're upset when reactions spoil something

[ᴀʟᴅᴇʀᴀᴛᴏᴍ @AlderAtom]

@boanerges_ct @TheAndyCortez childish false equivalence & completely misunderstand of how media criticism works. Using a skateboard is objectively worse for flying somewhere, a bulldozer is objectively worse for hanging a picture in your living room. Prefering a piece of media over another is just an opinion

[ᴀʟᴅᴇʀᴀᴛᴏᴍ @AlderAtom]

@dufferjones @ianpauldukes So are you also a billionaire, like Musk, or are you a freeloader not working hard enough?

[ᴀʟᴅᴇʀᴀᴛᴏᴍ @AlderAtom]

@GamesRadar That doesn't seem like a lot
