I got a place on the 512GB with Controller list, and got an email a few days after they started. I ordered it on Friday the 3rd and got it today on Thursday the 9th. The tracking codes were all over the place and gave different estimates depending which branch of each company I used. Steam claimed it was shipped when the courier said they hadn’t got it so I was worried for a few days. But this morning Royal Mail (UK customer) sent me an email saying it would arrive today, while GLS said it would arrive tomorrow.

Safe to say I’m happy to have it now and be playing games!

    Fuck scalpers. Opportunistic pieces of shit, all of them. I hope Valve sues them into homelessness.

        That doesn’t mean there shouldn’t be. Morality informs legality, not the other way around. Also lawsuits are civil, that’s breaking a contract with another entity; “breaking the law” refers to criminal.

          Well no. You don’t want manufacturers to have more control to define what you can do with things you bought .

          I would be a super bad look at steam, and epic of course would jump on it and say they’re suing customers…I wouldn’t buy steam products either if they started suing people

              Again, as much as I’d like scalping to be banned, things don’t work that way.

                  Yeah… Ok… Let me know how that law will work exactly (provide some wording) that doesn’t also screw over people inadvertently.

                  Also, it would have to implemented worldwide instantaneously, or any region not included will exploit their advantage

                  Feel free to provide an example law.

                  Because, such a law would have to be world-wide, and require a whole new framework to work, or people in countries without the law will abuse their position
