MODERATORS
The lottery is only for the first batch. Everyone else is supposed to be chronologically based
How many batches will there be? Just out of curiosity because I doubt we can assume that there will be a chance to buy it later with limited qualities of hardware at all. This isn't a for sure thing is what I'm saying. Stock for their other products fluctuates a lot.
There's also a possibility that price will go up because component costs keep rising.
I doubt that even Valve knows that
So there's a chance that people out there who missed the lottery may never get it. I think that's the point.
I really doubt they're going to stop manufacturing with the waitlist filled. There may be price changes that lead to people leaving the waitlist, but Valve's not just going to leave them high and dry
It's entirely possible it will not be up to them.
And at this point you're just being deliberately stupid. Goodbye.
