That’s not true at all. I have purchased every valve hardware product on day 1 without problem.
I got the original controller and the new one, as well as the index.
The reservation system sucks. Just give me a buy option. I can beat the bots. I even got a 3090 and 3070 during covid problems.
lol. lmao, even
The controller didn't even have a fraction of the hype that the steam machine has. The index at that time was extremely pricey when alternatives existed for a third of the price. The steam machine is hyped up as fuck, comparably cheap for a pre-built, and is one of the first systems coming with steam os out of the box. Your comparison sucks, and you sure as hell cannot beat bots when there is a serious scalping operation going on.
