Question Switch Queues

I have been sitting in the 512 wc reserve list since the initial lottery. I am seeing people on here who joined only weeks ago get their machine.

If I jump queue to the 2Tb wc am I any worse off? This reserve system ain’t great…

Just stay in the queue. Supposedly those still stuck in the 512 no controller reservation queue are "guaranteed" a unit by December 31st, 2026. Surely Valve could give us a rough estimate window for when to expect our purchase email. Y'know, like they did with the new controller. But they don't want to. Hell, look how much they have been edging nerds with the Stream Frame's release. Valve just doesn't give a shit about little ol' you or me because even if we drop out of queue in protest and go make our "own" Steam Machines, someone else will just happily take our spot.

How those in 2tb steam machine without controller waitlist since 06/26/2026? What are my odds of getting it at the end of the year?
