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!

    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

      Scalpers aren’t their actual customers so they can get fucked

        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

              This is a “no true Scotsman” argument. Name one law in the history of government that didn’t have potential for loopholes.

                write an example

                There is no clean and good way to write this law imho

                When I say loopholes, I mean ones that further harm people affected by scalpers. It’s easy to say “oh, we’ll write a law”. The problem is writing one that doesn’t backfire completely.

            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
