I understand that there’s a lot involved in selling a product in specific regions of the world, especially at the ass end in Australia. The only place further is Antarctica, oh and those sheep loving neighbors we have across the ditch.

There’s also the dangers of getting products to us down here, what with all the spiders and crocodiles delivery people have to avoid.

And we have those pesky consumer laws that effectively lead to Steam having to be better at refunds.

But in saying all that, what does it take to get Valve to sell the Decks to us c***s?

I’d love one of these machines officially from Valve more than just about any piece of tech. Many of my friends would jump at it too. Is the cost of support too high? Anything we can do to convince my man Gabe to make them available here?

Thanks.

Sincerely,

  • A man who wants to play his Steam library on the dunny and on the way to his soul sucking job.

    I mean I would ship one to you if you bought it and sent it to me in the States and then paid shipping to your country but I guarantee that wouldn’t be very cost effective

    Oh man, imagine Gabe Newell personally delivering an OLED Deck to that one guy using Steam in Antarctica. Now that’s a video I’d want to see.

    I dont know if this is why, but I think Australia has some weird spook laws, and random regulations, which makes it difficult for value to release their stuff there. It might also be because of a tax that would make the device expensive. You should look it up.

    Can Swiss too? We’re the richest in Europe and can’t buy a Deck directly and gotta go to Germany/France for that, we don’t like our neighbors

    No, the New Zealand can have them. It;s closer to you. So take a boat and get one.

    Thanks,
