I think the point is that the people over there are doing things like scouring shipping logs and fcc reports because Valve has said it was ready and would be released then has been ghosting for months
Yeah, but that’s not abnormal stuff. Every anticipated hardware device has people digging into documents, patents, etc. for clues ahead of release, tracking milestones, etc.
Then again, I was an active participant in similar efforts for both the original Steam Deck and Valve Index releases, and I follow a few other tech spaces that see this continually even right now, so maybe my standards for “normal” are way off.
In the absolute lack of communication from valve way. Peek over on reddit and you’ll see
Edit: specifically the steam frame subreddit
I peeked. It didn’t seem that bad, just memes and shitposts.
I also don’t mind releases taking the “when it’s ready” approach. It’s kind of refreshing actually.
