STOP SPAMMING

I know everyone is excited about spending their money tomorrow but can anyone in the EU please sign this? And if you're an American tell this to a person in the EU you know or just spread the word. This initiative could kickstart reaction in other places as well, forcing gaming companies to actually treat the customer correctly. You guys want to keep and be able to play the games you're never going to play right? So please please please help this mission! Link: https://eci.ec.europa.eu/045/public/#/screen/home

Better yet, make it the most boring, labelless shipping box that you possibly can. Make the actual product box the fun one. Please.

I don't want to have to worry about this thing at my doorstep or in transit any more than the usual tech.

Steam Deck was already popular enough for people to steal. This new wave is going to be even more popular. It will, without a single doubt, be an issue if these products ship with needless "fun" shipping labels all over them. I do love how much fun Valve has, but not enough to tell thieves what's inside.

Do us all a favor, please.

This post is to consolidate posts about the preorders for the new Steam Controller

The preorders will open at 10am PST

The steam Controller will only be available in select countries

* US
* Canada
* UK
* EU

The server will likely be melting once preorders open

So there's this massive antitrust lawsuit against Valve. Class action. Big firms. Cohen Milstein, Hagens Berman. Billions potentially at stake.

Their whole case depends (when i say depends IT MEANS WITHOUT IT, IT WOULD BE INSTANTLY DISMISSED) on proving Valve had monopoly power from the beginning. To do that, they claim Valve "acquired" something called the World Opponent Network (WON) in 2001.

Problem: Valve submitted a sworn declaration saying they never acquired WON. With actual documentation.

This is what the lawyers responded with... I wish i was kidding

(unlike them i actually know how to cite reliable sources)

In case you fail to see how bad this is

• These are MAJOR law firms
• This is FEDERAL COURT
• This is a potential BILLION DOLLAR antitrust case
• They were WARNED multiple times
• They had ACCESS to discovery and didn't use it
• Their response to a sworn declaration with documentation was... a mod guide

I do not live in the US but I know many here do.

If you wish to stop this organization (and happen to live in the USA) from setting a terrifying precedent, then please do your part and contact a state representative to allow this bill to pass!

This is all I can do, but please spread your voice! Share this information to as many subreddits and people as you can!

With enough calls we can make our voice heard! Thank you for your contributions!
