I was put on the waitlist and until today I still had a little bit of hope I'd be able to purchase one this year. Haha, nope. I'll just resign myself to probably never getting one at this point.
People went from being on waitlist to being on reservation for Steam Machine recently, and people got Steam Controllers earlier than estimated time. Steam might be choosing to be more conservative on their estimates so still hope.
Or people with the ability to buy chose not to
At this rate there's a realistic chance to get a used one at a reasonable price before getting a new one from the waitlist. As much as I like Valve I have to say they really dropped the ball on this one. Why even bother creating a market-changing device when you only produce it in minuscule numbers. Now they have neither an egg nor a hen.
I'd gotten the email to order one, but I was out of the country...
Steam support said they couldn't delay shipment or give me 2 extra days to order so I'd be back when it was delivered....
So I got kicked all the way to the end of the waitlist Kinda killed my excitement, now
The couriers in your country won't hold on to an item for 2 days if you're not in? That sucks.
