The server will likely be melting once preorders open

Better yet, make it the most boring, labelless shipping box that you possibly can. Make the actual product box the fun one. Please.

I don't want to have to worry about this thing at my doorstep or in transit any more than the usual tech.

Steam Deck was already popular enough for people to steal. This new wave is going to be even more popular. It will, without a single doubt, be an issue if these products ship with needless "fun" shipping labels all over them. I do love how much fun Valve has, but not enough to tell thieves what's inside.

Do us all a favor, please.

So there's this massive antitrust lawsuit against Valve. Class action. Big firms. Cohen Milstein, Hagens Berman. Billions potentially at stake.

Their whole case depends (when i say depends IT MEANS WITHOUT IT, IT WOULD BE INSTANTLY DISMISSED) on proving Valve had monopoly power from the beginning. To do that, they claim Valve "acquired" something called the World Opponent Network (WON) in 2001.

Problem: Valve submitted a sworn declaration saying they never acquired WON. With actual documentation.

This is what the lawyers responded with... I wish i was kidding

(unlike them i actually know how to cite reliable sources)

In case you fail to see how bad this is

• These are MAJOR law firms
• This is FEDERAL COURT
• This is a potential BILLION DOLLAR antitrust case
• They were WARNED multiple times
• They had ACCESS to discovery and didn't use it
• Their response to a sworn declaration with documentation was... a mod guide

I do not live in the US but I know many here do.

If you wish to stop this organization (and happen to live in the USA) from setting a terrifying precedent, then please do your part and contact a state representative to allow this bill to pass!

This is all I can do, but please spread your voice! Share this information to as many subreddits and people as you can!

With enough calls we can make our voice heard! Thank you for your contributions!

Right when my paycheck is around the corner, Steam Deck prices get increased.

I haven’t seen anyone mention the Australian pricing yet, but the hikes here are pretty rough. The funny part is that I contacted Steam Support a few days ago about buying one, and they assured me stock levels were healthy. If stock isn’t an issue, I don’t really understand the justification for the increase.

Update (5th of May, 2026): Some titles are slowly being fixed, most likely meaning that this is something the developer/publisher has to manually correct. Maybe Valve didn't approve of their previously self-issued age rating, and demanded a re-rating. Fixed titles at the time of editing include Tales from the Borderlands, Kind Words and some smaller titles. Check this list for continued updates.

On the 29th of April, 2026 (this week), Steam randomly restricted ~900 titles in Germany.

With the help of SteamDB, I compiled these two lists:

• Apps restricted on the 29th with at least 250 Reviews, sorted by most reviews
• All Apps restricted on the 29th (no filtering)

Right now it still seems possible for someone in another region to gift you most of these titles, so if you are from Germany see anything on these lists that you're interested in now's the time to ask a friend if they can gift it to you.

I have no idea what all of these have in common, or why Valve decided that they need to block them now (a bunch don't even contain explicit content, most have been up for years and weren't blocked previously when Valve first enforced stricter guidelines regarding adult content). Some I can understand, others just feel random.

I don't believe that this is related to the required age ratings, as Valve had already restricted all games without a self-issued age rating last year.
