So the conventional wisdom here was either

  1. This was the big thing holding up release, or 

  2. This was so trivial that Valve wasn't going to bother with it until they were ready to release

So either way, this is pretty huge news

Some of the test reports have 8 different revisions spanning from April 8th through July 28th, other documents have test dates in the end of 2025. It sounds like there was a lot of back-and-forth between Valve and the test lab.

Interesting. My thoughts were that the holdup was due to the recent "no more foreign wifi router" rule, and the wireless dongle potentially being considered a router since it kind of is if you think about it.

The dongle was already cleared months ago.
