It is now available and they are selling it for $30 over the black OLED Steam Deck. The increased price isn't that bad considering this difference is less than 5% more for a limited edition cosmetic.
According to the price tracker here this sale is an all time low price for the 512GB LCD and it was also this cheap in September. My best guess is this sale price will be the same for the winter sale. The current Steam Deck sale prices should be good until December 4.
AMD Ryzen 7 8840U processor and no mention of battery life, but they do go into detail on the three pipe heatsink for heavy duty cooling.
iirc steam has a 30 day (might be more) "cooldown" on sales, meaning you can only do another discount after that period. if they follow that for their own hardware I haven't checked.
i liked firewatch though its one of those games you can really only play once. their other game is on the back burner for however the fuck long it takes to make deadlock
Huh, that's a weird rule.
Shit, that was a mistake. Wasn't that simply a walking sim...? Why bother acquiring them even if it was "good"?
it's so you can't raise your price before a sale, discount it and claim it's "cheaper" and other shenanigans. in some countries that's outright illegal, which steam would probably be on the hook for (or at least has to deal with).
... It's in the post and in the linked doc you just quoted. Seasonals are excluded from the rule.
Now, if only they officially expanded SteamOS to support desktop PCs, then I'd finally be able to move off Winblows.
You should just be using something like CachyOS if you are on a desktop and want the SteamOS interface. SteamOS is good for a gaming handheld, but it falters if you are using it for more traditional desktop work docked since it is immutable, limiting you to Flatpaks for permanent additions, you can't permanently install packages with the package manager, which again is fine for a primarily gaming handheld, not as much for a desktop.
