Michael (@MikeTriceratops) reported@smith_rust @valvesoftware @Steam Anybody that actually pays them those prices and rewards them for their scummy selfish behavior is only perpetuating the issue and encouraging them to continue scalping. Out of principle, I will wait however long I need to in order to purchase directly from Valve.

Klassischer Mann (@KlassischeMann) reported@MatthewJPipoly @valvesoftware @Steam It wasn't sold out with that error. The servers were slammed. If you were smart, you would have kept hitting refresh until you got in.

ANONXRT-ARCH (@XRTARCH) reported@valvesoftware @Steam Hey tech community, I have a serious question. What if we started a real global movement for affordable hardware? Not just for gaming. Not just for consoles. I mean PCs, laptops, GPUs, CPUs, phones, development machines, networking gear, repair parts, and everything people need to enter the modern digital world. Because right now, the global hardware market is extremely unfair. In some countries, people earn very low monthly wages, but the price of technology is still close to Western pricing, or sometimes even worse because of import taxes, bad local markets, retailer markups, shipping costs, weak availability, and lack of competition. For example, in the Philippines, the average monthly income can be around a few hundred dollars, yet a PS5 or a decent PC build can still cost nearly a full month of income or more. That is not just expensive. That is a wall blocking people from opportunity. And this is not only about entertainment. Affordable hardware gives people access to: Gaming Programming Cybersecurity AI development Content creation Streaming Digital art Engineering Online education Remote work Open source development Repair businesses Tech communities Local startups . A person in a lower-income country could be extremely talented, but if they cannot afford even a basic machine, how are they supposed to compete with someone who has easy access to modern hardware? That is the problem. The world keeps talking about “digital opportunity,” but opportunity means nothing if the tools are locked behind impossible prices. We need better global hardware access. We need fairer regional pricing. We need less abusive import markups. We need stronger refurbished markets. We need more official availability in lower-income countries. We need companies to care about actual local purchasing power. We need right-to-repair support so people can maintain and upgrade what they already own. We need affordable entry-level hardware that is actually useful, not outdated trash sold at inflated prices. This could help millions of people enter the cyber world properly. More developers. More creators. More engineers. More security researchers. More students learning real skills. More gamers building communities. More small businesses. More competition. More innovation from countries that are usually ignored. There is probably a massive amount of talent being wasted worldwide simply because hardware is too expensive. Imagine if more people from the Philippines, Indonesia, India, Brazil, Poland, Romania, Nigeria, Vietnam, and other countries had fair access to proper hardware. The tech world would grow faster. Gaming communities would grow. Open source would grow. Cybersecurity would grow. AI development would grow. Education would improve. Local economies could benefit. Cheap global hardware is not just a consumer issue. It is an education issue. It is a development issue. It is a fairness issue. It is a future economy issue. Technology should not be locked behind broken markets. If we want a real global digital future, then we need to fight for hardware access that actually matches the reality of each country. Fair hardware pricing worldwide would change lives.

It's Totally Mikoto Time! (@MikotoWolfskin) reported@valvesoftware @Steam Selling out in 36 minutes is absolutely bathetic! Where is the Que? Preorders? Why did you not stop scalping! 2 per customer didn't help! in the start 1 per customer and stop reviewer from getting one in the start. Endless transaction error. Highly disappointed!

Skywalker D. Luiee (@LuieeSkyWalker) reported@Steam @Steam_Support I’ve been trying to checkout the steam controller since it went live keep getting an error and now it’s sold out? I should’ve been able to purchase at 10am pct when I put it in my cart

𝐑𝐀𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐑𝐀 (@Ramattra___) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam Remove the mandatory Ubisoft Connect login for games bought on Steam and things would already be so much better. Even better, just get rid of Ubisoft Connect entirely.
-
Thorne (@ThorneAbrams) reported@AntiFurVoreGore @valvesoftware @Steam "Fairness" isn't getting special treatment because you've been a user for a long time. It’s everyone having the same 1-unit limit so the scalpers you’re complaining about can’t drain the stock. You’re asking to be part of the problem.
