The Steam Deck is Out But Nobody Has One and the Scalpers are Cashing in Again

Well, Valve attempted to come up with a better way of selling the Steam Deck than we'd seen with other hardware but they weren't entirely successful.

    The difference between this and the Intellivision Amico is some people have actually received the Steam Deck. But I'm sure world events and shortages are definitely making a difference here with Steam. Intellivision and Tommy can't make the same claim. My deck got pushed back to after Q3. Sucks!!

    Mine said Q2 initially, then said after Q2, then Q3. And yes, technically you are right, Q3 is after Q2 but what is happening in reality is that the dates are becoming later as time goes on. I’ve heard they are ramping up production, though, so hopefully things will start to move in the other direction. I wouldn’t be surprised to see orders slip to after Q3, then Q4 and even into 2023, though.

    @@TNTITAN Its still the same system. Valve just clarified the delivery dates. They were able to more correctly estimates delivery times then just after Q2, cause that could mean Q3, Q4 or anytime in 2023 or 2024. The problem is that Valve started to produce Decks for consumers very late. They produced thousands of Decks that were sent to developer and you tubers which ate in to the consumer production. On the other hand the problem is also that reservation lines seem to be done by countries. I know I reserved the Steam Deck quite late on the release day (cause I didn't know about it) and I'm still Q2 while people that reserved before me are Q3 but come from a different country.

    Pretty sure you just precisely described scalping. If you buy something at RRP and immediately flip it for a profit that’s scalping, whether you do it with one unit or a whole heap of them. The only reason these guys are limited to one unit is because Valve made it difficult to obtain more than that. I’m sure some still managed it, though.

    It's a lot harder for scalpers to buy out Valve's stock, due to Valve essentially limiting it to one Deck per active steam account. So you'll likely get a few peeps reselling their device or selling the one they got via a smurf account they happened to have had on hand beforehand.

    The silver lining is that right now, the software still needs work - both for the ui and the games. Dual booting isn't even supported yet. A delayed arrival will result in a smoother experience with some bugs fixed. My own order has been pushed back twice from last year to Q1 to Q2. To a certain degree I'm somewhat grateful I won't have to deal with teething issues like the software stick drift. As a side note, I'm rather curious to see the next steam hardware survey and what number of steam os will be running.

Also, seeing people(not scalpers) selling their Decks on ebay it means that A) the demand is higher and valve would keep supporting/making the device and B) decks are actually being send to their owners which is always good.

This seems entirely reasonable to me, considering I didn't even order on the same day it was announced. I think part of what you're seeing here is that unlike certain console and GPU manufacturers, Valve doesn't seem to prioritize North America, so people in North America will feel like there's not a lot of supply compared to other console launches, whereas people in Europe will have an easier time getting their hands on one compared to e.g. the PS5.

    So many people argue that Valve did the right thing..... but Scalping is still very much a thing. All they've succeeded in doing is reduce the volume of bulk scalpers who profit and turned it into a cottage industry with "gamers" turning on gamers. I've said in various places that to stop the scalp all Valve needs to do is lock the MAC of the Deck to your steam account. Locked to your account for 3-6months would kill scalping overnight. It would mean those only looking to flip their lucky early reservation would think again, cancel or perhaps keep their Deck and be a gamer not a junior scalper. I think you'd definitely see more gamers thanking Steam, more content from gamers on youtube and less youtube cash grab then scalp. I saw one Glasgow youtuber had done 1 video then scalped their 256 model for £1300 just yesterday on ebay. This insanity has to stop.

    Scalpers are teaching me to become VERY good at waiting. Just like the year or so it took me to get a NON scalped PS5, I will just wait again. I love to see scalpers loose money. Worth the wait, but just like PS, Steam will lppse a fortune on potential game sales: scalpers don't by games with the 500 systems they keep in their storage.

    The scalpers are people with money who don’t know how to make money. Even though they are making a profit, it’s not a sustainable or life changing amount of money and they would probably have more pleasure if they just enjoyed playing the console or having spent the money on something else in the first place.

    Valves system was supposed to mean they had more control over supply and demand. The way they set up pre-orders meant they should have known exactly how many Steam Decks were required. And yet, we still had our orders pushed back. The reality is that very few people have received their Steam Decks. There’s no real way to sugar coat that. As for the pandemic, I get that but that in no negates the fact that pre-orders haven’t gone a smoothly as they should.

    The only shitshow here is your understanding of the expected order availability. When you pre-ordered the Steam Deck, you had an expected availability of "Q2 2022". Then, the December launch got pushed back by a quarter, so *everyone* got pushed back by a quarter. This showed up on your reservation as "After Q2 2022" because they didn't want to make any promises of what quarter someone would be in that far out until they launched. Then, when they launched, they had a better understanding of who would be in the third quarter, so they updated your nebulous "After Q2 2022" to "Q3 2022" because your order fell in that window according to their predictions. You are criticizing them for making your order prediction *more accurate* without even understanding what is happening.

    Well, I couldn’t bring myself to make any videos about games at all last week because of what was going on… And because we had a friend staying with us who had to leave Kyiv due to Russia’s illegal war. If you check out my Twitter, you’ll see that gaming pretty much disappeared from my account last week too, as I was mainly sharing tweets from sources relaying information about the war. It probably put some people off my Twitter account and this KZread channel (one guy even told me he was unsubbing because of my support for Ukraine) but, as you say, some things are more important than gaming. #IStandwithUkraine

    First of, your order didnt get "slips" twice. Seriously, you seem to very ill-informed. Yes, at first you were being push into After Q2 but once you got into Q3, you weren't being pushed or "sliped", you seemly has a concrete position now. Now you know you're certainly in the Q3 gang and not in after Q3. And valve is doing the best their can with the supplies issue, but at the end of the day, its not their fault that suddenly, a war happens or some shit manufacter decided to say, they can't give valve the material they need. Which is what happen last year. Plus, some tech review also stated that suppleis might get better but BAMB, a war happen and suddenly supplies get contraint even more. 2nd, ALMOST OF THE Q1 BATCH HAVE GOTTEN THEIR DECK. You can litterely look up in the Reddit community to see yourself and there handful more that got the deck that didnt even post about it. I didnt when I got my Quest 2, so there plenty of people that have gotten it. SERIOUSLY, Go and check and you'll see TONS of people have gotten it! 3rd. Slacpers will always exist. espically in our time of supply contraints. However, as you have look in your video, almost all of them are just resevation and not actual Decks, just a handful it seem, plus there a lot of troll that just bid the price for the scalp deck to get higher but didnt pay at the end. Again, this video just seem very miss-informed, same with what happen with a certain PC news outlet that had to change their headline because of the mistake they make. Saying that people get massive pushed back from After Q2 to Q3, and they just humilate themselve once their realise, After Q2 means its just Q3 ffs. Im sorry for the harshness but seriously, this video just feel very stupid.

    @@metatronblack His a youtuber. And someone that's expressing their opinion. Naturally, someone will come and counteract him. Especially when he makes a bold claim that no one is getting the steam deck. Which is factually wrong. Seriously, it makes it feel like his a narcissist, "Oh Im not getting it, so everyone else isnt getting it" vibe. Its remind me of that recent IGN article where they say people got "pushed back" to Q3 and they since have change it, from the backlash and such. Even valve stated that no one got push back, just thaf people get a more concrete idea of their position is queue, in the form of Q3 and after Q3. Which in term mean they are more confident they can release more steam deck in that time frame. Again thing can change but its not valve fault for when a supplier sudden runs away. His video feel very over-reacting for the sake of it and for the clout as the kids says it. Or feel like a karen that gets mad because her queue is on the back and she cant get forward because too many people ordering.

    What happened with your steam deck reservation is initial + one quarter. I reserved mine during first 10 minutes, it was December 2021 and got delayed to Q1 2022, already got it and I'm not a famous youtuber. Since you got initially Q2 2022, you were pushed to Q3, but they did not indicate initially so said after Q2, which is true, Q3 is after, and now they clarified who is Q3 and who is even further. Hopefully it will not be pushed again. What is also cool is situation with scalpers. So far I have seen 4 or 5 listings on eBay with the actual device and not a reservation selling scam. It's definitely not ideal, but it's far better than ps5 where bots are buying all the stock in 0.1 second. Oh man, hopefully this shortage will soon end 🥱🥱🥱

    My initial order said Q2, not after Q2, so I was definitely bumped to Q3. They have definitely managed to stop a lot of the issues with scalpers but there are some still out there. As production ramps up I hope any scalpers will be forced to lower their prices or be unable to sell. We'll see, though. I also expect to see some orders moving to next year. That also depends on just how much Valve can ramp up production, though.
