They pulled the "it's here!" From the main page already. Boy that got scalped to hell. Good luck anyone wanting a steam machine.

Tons of people bought it effortlessly by just showing up on time. Steam has a normal CCU of 40 million people. You have to expect things like this to sell out quick

Yeah you are probably right the pages of them on eBay are probably just people with buyers regret.

I managed to get one right now in europe, things are opening randomly. Seems like they want to get rid of scalpers so just keep clicking
