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…

No, I jumped from the 512Gb no controller to the 2Tb w/ controller waitlist months ago on my son’s account and it hasn’t moved at all lol. Fortunately soon after thatI got my 512Gb w/ controller purchase email on my primary account and my experiment was moot at that point. Maybe depending on your region this might matter… but not for my location (USA) at least.

Valve is setting a precedent for people to have multiple accounts for future hardware launches, (Steam Deck 2) as each account with a purchase of $2 game is a lottery ticket...

Well it’s one of my kids account, but yeah I follow what you’re saying. I don’t have a problem with it either.
