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.

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 stand for my aussie brothers. They re missing out on the best console ever made
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
ha! nice try, internet! everyone knows Australia isn’t a real place!
You can readily buy the steam deck here (in Australia). Sellers have been importing them for a little while now. I bought mine here:
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
They’re still salty that you guys forced them to add refunds
Gaben lives in New Zealand he don’t care for Aussies
Well apparently Kiwis as well :|
Gave up and bought the Legion Go. Screw Valve, they can’t count beyond 2 so after SD2 there won’t be anymore anyway.
Valve has always had horrific customer support, so the prospect of selling a product in a country with pro-consumer laws probably scares the hell out of them.
Maybe they’re doing a yearly regional release?
Show some love for Singapore too 😩 we Chinese need the Steam Deck OLED too
One in three of your friends will go to Japan or Korea this year. Japan yen is really weak now.
Everybody, regardless of race, in Singapore (and Southeast Asia) need the Steam Deck OLED.
No, the New Zealand can have them. It;s closer to you. So take a boat and get one.
Thanks,
GabenNZ does not have them - we are the same as AU and have to buy from resellers
After Gabe sheltered there during Covid? But of a dick move.
At least Jon Oliver got the puteketeke elected.
