Valve has finally opened Steam Machine reservations, and like clockwork, scalpers have already taken to eBay to sell the new tech for more than double its retail price.
Steam already stated they’re limiting to 1 per household.
The longer timeframe also allows us to do some extra validation on the signups to make sure they’re real accounts, with only one per household.
Limit one signup per household. We will use payment method, shipping address, and other information to eliminate multiple entries
the only part they can’t tell is gifting. i think they could fix that by requiring the account that would have to claim it during purchase. otherwise SN + account + location would pretty much end scalping. and if they actually enforced the one household rule more children would actually get their games…
couldn’t valve just ban the accounts that are using a serial that doesn’t match any of their purchase order?
Well then fuck every child that’s about to be gifted one of theese I guess.
