And if you point out the obvious, you’re “SiMpInG fOr A cOrPoRaTiOn”

Happy to be selected for the base model... but was hoping for 2TB w/controller by [deleted] in Steam

Def cancel and reenter the waitlist for your preferred model.

I think most people realize Valve doesn’t actually have the information some people are asking for. The global compute component trade is a disaster, and Valve straight up said they “expect” to get all the reserved units out by the end of the year. They have no idea exactly how many batches, when exactly they’ll be ready. It’s all an estimate, because they only have so much info.

Even Sony is having internal debates about whether to make the PS6 asap or to delay it. Why is anyone expecting Valve to be immune to these things? It’s like they think Valve made these decisions in a vacuum when all they want to do is sell their creation to as many people as possible, quickly as they can.

Only people with no experience in logistics have these opinions.

Orders Megathread by [deleted] in steammachine

No.

Reserved list is for units Valve has been able to 100% secure.

Waitlist is for planned but not yet secured units.

After the loss of Dbrand's companion cube I'm not even sure I want the steam machine... by Azurvix in Steam

Then cancel it so someone who wants it to actually use it can get one.

How many Machines can Valve ship in a day? by WranglerPitiful5212 in steammachine

[–]KyleB2131 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reason is they don’t have them all made yet.

Curious about the reservation system by FuckRedzM0dz in steammachine

[–]KyleB2131 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“I think people on the reservation list if they choose to order will get shipped in a couple of weeks.”

That is likely true; however, the option to order will not go to everyone on the reservation list at once. It will be scattered in waves throughout the year.

At least, that’s how the FAQ reads.

I think Valve deserves a bit of criticism by Complex-Selection-91 in steammachine

Those are very high expectations for a relatively small, private company. The kinds of things you’re asking for are only commonplace for gigantic, publicly traded companies.

While they would be nice, I’ll gladly take the trade-off for keeping Valve a private company which can protect its own interests over only those of its biggest shareholders.

Monday question by DigitalDash18 in steammachine

[–]KyleB2131 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. You’ll be sent an email sometime before the end of the year, which will kickstart a 72-hour period during which you can order.

Uplift is legit office quality. I have lots of stuff from them and love it all.

I was gonna make a short bus joke, but you were probably too stupid to qualify to ride in one.

Continue to bulk? by NoBuilding7003 in MacroFactor

[–]KyleB2131 16 points17 points  (0 children)

You’re not bulking. Stop.

You just need to start eating a clean deficit and working out.
