I have a question, do you only get an email notification, or donyou also get an in-app notification?
I wonder for my own sake...
I believe I only got the email and no in app message. But I also probably didn’t open the app or the computer launcher in that time period, only using my steam deck. Funny because I was checking it every few days, worried that I’d miss it and then have just had a bunch of other stiff going on the last week.
I hesitated on my Steam machine reservation and someone suggested trying this. I ended up spending most of the money on something else. But it is great to know they help with this.
I did order my controller the second I got the email.
Valve not having to do anything, yet they still do the right thing, love these guys
Yeah, I was fully expecting to go to the back of the line. Got a quick response of ‘your purchase window has been reopened for 72 hours.’ They absolutely deserve the goodwill directed their way.
