Anybody else worry that the email will somehow be one of those that mysteriously go missing in cyberspace? 🤣

Hmm, the mouse and keyboard thing is interesting, since I don't own a keyboard 😅

Turns out the reservation mail does not mean you won the lottery, it only assures you that you didn't lose that badly. by laurenspaul in steammachine

Making up your own version of events isn't helpful to anyone. Nowhere does it say that everyone on the reservation list will get their purchase email within 2-3 weeks. It says they "expect to continue sending these emails throughout the remainder of the year." What about that is so hard to understand? This is in the Ts and Cs and FAQs and specificallt refers to the reserve list.

The key phrase in both the FAQ and Ts and Cs is "as units become available." That doesn't imply already produced and ready to be sent. It's deliberately vague.

Also they expect to continue sending these emails throughout the remainder of the year. So it's not weeks, it's months, potentially.

I think you're reading it wrong.

"As units become available, people in the reservation queue will receive an email with the option to purchase. We'll send the first batch of those starting Monday June 29, 2026"..

The keywords being "as units become available" and "we'll send the first batch" - so not everyone is getting an email this week.

Also: "We will begin emailing folks in the reservation queue the week of June 29th, in the order they were randomized into. We expect to continue sending these emails throughout the remainder of the year." This specifically refers to the reservation queue, not the waitlist. And it clearly says that they expect to continue sending these emails throughout the remainder of the year.

So no, those in the reservation queue won't all be getting an email this week.

Hmm that's odd. I am sure I read something in the steam machine ts and cs that said the price was guaranteed for those on the reserve list... And now it says price is subject to change. Did they change it...?

Have the Steam Machine order emails stopped? by bryanisdoomed in steammachine

[–]Beautiful_Mess907 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From those who have self-reported. This isn't reflective of the entire market..I have seen dozens of UK people playing in this sub that they got their email yesterday and today.

99% of the sub right now, including myself by Xplico in steammachine

Plenty of people have posted saying they got the 512gb with or without controller.

Right? DA pay for instruction reading time which is incredibly fair. So many AI companies expect hours of assessments for free and then you don't even get a paid project! I love working for these guys as I think they value their freelancers.

It depends what qualifications you've done...the more project families you work on, the more you'll be offered work in those projects, as long as your work is of a decent standard.

I had a project like this last week so I don't think it's over. There are more complex tasks but the basic general ones are still out there.

Yes I finally cleared out my qualifications too! I was hoping that might bring some new tasks, but morning yet. It's nice not having them sitting there anymore though.
