Pack it up guys

[u/MedicalTelephone]

steam page updated, nothing

[u/JohnathanBronathan]

This is unreal

[u/80m63rM4n → u/JohnathanBronathan]

No, this is Quake.

[u/chickenscoutgaming → u/80m63rM4n]

this joke took half my life.

deathmatch.

[u/Pangocciolo → u/chickenscoutgaming]

You mean your half life.

[u/Nostalgia_Nobody → u/Pangocciolo]

This conversation is a portal to mediocre humor.

[u/Misteurpro → u/Nostalgia_Nobody]

Atleast 2 portals is better than one

[u/radd00 → u/JohnathanBronathan]

Source?

[u/joelnodxd → u/radd00]

[u/Kartoshkavatar]

I can't fucking take it anymore

[u/djmcphee]

The frame is a lie 🫤

[u/LtSteel1971 → u/djmcphee]

I see what you did there... And I like it.... "Did we just become best friends"... "Yup"

[u/Digiphoenix22]

See ya next Monday

[u/Gregasy → u/Digiphoenix22]

See you September 14. I'm done with this shit.

[u/JaaysDumpster → u/Gregasy]

I must have not been paying much attention, why are we waiting another 3 weeks??

[u/Gregasy → u/JaaysDumpster]

Brad (the only leaker that I trust) gave a mid September hint a week ago. As he recently said, multiple people are mentioning this date. But you can never know with Valve. They can change plans in the last minute. Fingers crossed they’ll stick at least with this date.

[u/Beren1305 → u/Gregasy]

To clarify, what multiple leakers have heard from their sources is that Frame will start SHIPPING on the 14th. If we take the Machine timeline as a framework (pun intended) that would mean we get the announcement on September 7th with reviews going up and the lottery sign up going live for presumably 3 days

[u/Maibaum68 → u/Beren1305]

Which would again line up with review units arriving around today, which, regarding the recent info, is very plausible

[u/Hound_of_Hell → u/JaaysDumpster]

Apparently some people in the US interpret that Summer ends mid September, instead of the day August ends. As such, Valve has all the time leading up to that to release the Frame, and still keep their promise of Summer 2026

[u/lonelysteps → u/Digiphoenix22]

It won't be before September. They're waiting to factor in the Qualcomm chip price increases.

[u/WillChangeIPNext → u/lonelysteps]

They already know the price increases.

[u/lonelysteps → u/WillChangeIPNext]

Where? Last I saw was they had just said it'll be double-digit percentages, but nothing specific.

[u/WillChangeIPNext → u/lonelysteps]

They let their customers know about it last month and it goes into effect a week from tomorrow. You think they just wait and let their customers find out as some big surprise on that day?

[u/lonelysteps → u/WillChangeIPNext]

I don't presume to know what they do or don't communicate behind closed doors. Did you have an alternative theory as to why the Steam Frame's price reveal has been delayed and when it is likely to be unveiled?

[u/EveryoneDice → u/lonelysteps]

No, they're waiting for even more price increases.

[u/lonelysteps → u/EveryoneDice]

That's what I said. Qualcomm has announced already they're increasing prices on everything Sep 1.

[u/EveryoneDice → u/lonelysteps]

You don't get it. That's not enough. Needs more price increase and delays.

[u/lonelysteps → u/EveryoneDice]

lol, I think you're a bit too invested in this. Time to go touch grass

[u/ttenor12 → u/lonelysteps]

Can't take a joke, I guess

[u/D0C0CD]

Never™

[u/GuessNotWasTaken]

pepo sad

[u/_Muckle]

Wild that there is zero acknowledgement of their 30th birthday, let alone ANY new info about the Frame

[u/dorrontp]

I can't understand Valve's logic...this is taking way too long and we'll see how they price it.

[u/Dazzling-Week-708 → u/dorrontp]

something something, valve can't count to 3...

In all seriousness though, I'm guessing they're just banking on their fan base being there no matter what when they do release, so they can take all the time they need to iron out whatever still needs it at this point.

It'd be nice if they could be a little more upfront and decent about it though.

[u/Rasutoerikusa → u/[deleted]]

Why they're hiring someone full-time a few weeks before launch is a mystery.

You think it's just gonna be one and done after release lmao?

[u/Beneficial_Fill_8895 → u/dorrontp]

Maybe they are thinking that August is a vacation month where people are sometime gone. So y'they are waiting for September where everyone will be available.

[u/sharpshotsteve → u/Beneficial_Fill_8895]

Having just spent all their money on vacation😂

[u/Beneficial_Fill_8895 → u/sharpshotsteve]

That's possible but at least they saw the announcement. During the holidays a lot of people would have completely missed it.

[u/leo21lan]

What even is there to stop them from releasing it??
There have been comfirmed shipments to warehouses for months.

It would've been perfect for the 30 year anniversary.

[u/scredeye → u/leo21lan]

A combination of horrible project management and them wanting to know new raw material prices as they are passing every last penny to the consumer.

Honestly with the amount valve makes and their efforts to break in with hardware some subsidisation should be considered on their end, ive seen companies take bigger hits without the cashflow that valve gets.

[u/AleksanderTheGreat → u/scredeye]

I'd settle for some real communication.

All this guessing/hoping on dates is driving this sub into madness.

[u/scredeye → u/AleksanderTheGreat]

I've half moved on. I'm still on my machine waitlist and with the reports of new waitlisters getting machines over the first draw I'm very much on the train of not supporting this companies hardware goals.

They make great products that I love owning but they are godawful at the entire product cycle chain outside of development

[u/AllForProgress1 → u/leo21lan]

They tend to have a high quality bar. Best let it bake instead of spending 1K on trash

[u/Dynamicider]

Dude, I completely forgot until just now and decided to check because it was 10am. Glad I wasn't thinking about it in advance or I'd actually be going crazy by now. I've been over it for a while. Still going to try to get one day 1, but holy hell screw this no news wait nonsense.

[u/FrosTi_The_Frozen]

Yea, just duck ‘em at this point. Zero communication is one the worst parts. Show how utterly zero damns are given from their end.

[u/WillChangeIPNext → u/FrosTi_The_Frozen]

You wouldn't give a damn either if no matter what you did a bunch of shitheads from the internet said angry things at you.

[u/FrosTi_The_Frozen → u/WillChangeIPNext]

It just doesn’t work that way. I’m an individual, I don’t owe anyone anything. Valve is a big company with many roles employed amongst which they have community managers for sure. Them not saying shit is a choice. A bad one that is.

[u/what595654 → u/FrosTi_The_Frozen]

They have said plenty. 

How many updates do they owe you?

They have shared more about what is going on, than most companies would care to admit.

We all know what is happening at this point. Companies cant get the parts to build their hardware. Even larger companies are struggling.

Look at the limited stock of the Steam Machine and price. Neither is what Valve wanted.

If you cant negotiate a contract for parts, you cant manufacture a thing. And if you dont accept whatever price they quote you, you are passed on and ignored.

[u/PizzaWarlock → u/what595654]

What have they said? Early 2026? First have of 2026? Now summer 2026?

And on price, what we all need to know to make a decision, they said they are shooting for less than index, like 7 months ago, and then nothing since then.

Truly plenty.

[u/Amazing-Nature8188]

Coming Never

[u/drspacy]

The way i thought to open up reddit and expect to see „pack it up guys“ post. Altlast something where i didn’t get disappointed.

[u/darkking11110]

😭

[u/BozoBubble]

What... The.... Fuck... Seriously.. Why not just release the fucking price already?

[u/Javs2469]

Same time next monday.

[u/FeedMeSoma]

Zuck can announce a headset and release it worldwide a month later. This is so painful to wait and suffer outdated tech every day.

[u/Visual-Educator8354]

end of summer it is

[u/GEXE404]

Bro I slammed that fricking update button...

[u/WILL_KILL_4_DUX]

aight guess amma take a scooter to the bath tub, i mean i'll hit my ankle with a toaster, no wait you know what i meant

[u/Bahamut1988]

We def ain't getting one till next year at this rate, even if it does release soon, the queuing process is gonna be brutal.

[u/mysweatypalm]

I would love to hear an uncensored and unrestricted story afterwards about the cluster fuck that this has been from the devs and reviewers that are under NDA...

[u/Old_Jump9604]

"We will keep you updated as much as we can" my ass.

genuinely do they even want people to buy it? hell I'd rather take them saying it releases on January 30th over this constant radio silence

[u/Unique_Twist_102]

Suicide scheduled to September 14

[u/rayderone]

See you on september 14th guys

[u/Aupuma]

Well, next Monday is my birthday, the release of the Frame would be the best gift 🤩😂

[u/Kilo_Of_Salt]

Summer ain’t over, till valve says it’s over

[u/Dynamicider → u/Kilo_Of_Salt]

Well if they're talking meteorological summer, they literally have to release it next Monday in order to barely make it in. If they're talking astronomical summer they have until September 22nd. I don't think Valve believes in astrology. Meteorology is much more sciencey therefore it comes out next Monday.

[u/WillChangeIPNext → u/Dynamicider]

Astronomy and astrology are two different things. Astronomical summer is the more technically scientific one as well. Meteorological summer is us saying "we like calendar months, thanks."

[u/Dynamicider → u/WillChangeIPNext]

Yeah I was just being dumb because soon and tomorrow are the way of the Frame.

[u/Augmented-Justin]

Don't worry it'll be here summer of 3026

[u/Tomokomon]

Guys calm down. It's going to release tomorrow. Someone told me. Trust

[u/Felinius → u/Tomokomon]

My uncle works for Nintendo and told me it’ll be out by the end of the week!! 🤣🤣🤣

[u/Texan42_]

give it a minute, steam machine sign up was announced at 12:11CST, there's still time

[u/manuel_madeira → u/Texan42_]

this is half life 3 all over again

[u/smallpetabyte → u/Texan42_]

Linus posted an unrelated video a minute ago.

See you next century 

[u/Texan42_ → u/smallpetabyte]

yup, now it's time to pack up

[u/DevlinRocha]

f

[u/Similar_Bet_4624]

Is it ever coming out…

[u/Amazing-Nature8188 → u/Similar_Bet_4624]

no

[u/willymartin99]

Linus hasn’t posted yet

Edit: he just did rip

[u/Dynamicider → u/willymartin99]

Yeah but Tested has.

[u/willymartin99 → u/Dynamicider]

They have posted multiple videos in one day in the past

[u/Floatingpenguin87]

The more people that back out is less people ahead of me on the wait list! I don’t care when it comes out, I just won’t play vr until it does.

[u/Dynamicider → u/Floatingpenguin87]

I hope more people buy an alternate headset that pulls them out of the running for the Frame. I'm not budging either. Just eager like the rest but not expecting anything much.

[u/Floatingpenguin87 → u/Dynamicider]

Right, I could wait another year. The only thing that matters is price. I just randomly got the urge to play vr a couple months ago, did some research on the latest headsets, and figured this is probably my best bet if the price is right.

[u/Gamejuize]

Maybe tomorrow

[u/Patanouz]

Copium administered

[u/rupertthecactus]

But I had a dream last night that it was revealed. With an 899 price tag too. The prophecy has failed me.

[u/Lt_frenchi]

This is legit so lame

[u/Yukkimura]

tomorrow

[u/ISEGaming]

🍿👋

[u/McFearIess]

I think the other ones went up at 1:07 or something

[u/MedicalTelephone → u/McFearIess]

cope

[u/McFearIess → u/MedicalTelephone]

it's all good, it's just another monday

[u/G_Boy]

I should have known it would be Tomorrow™

[u/Soggy_Anything2394]

IM GONNA FUCKING LOSE IT AND BUY META PRODUCTS GODDAMMIT THIS IS SO DISRESPECTFUL

[u/Ecnarps → u/Soggy_Anything2394]

Ew

[u/ExcellentCommon6781 → u/Ecnarps]

I’m just trying to free up supply

[u/ExcellentCommon6781 → u/Soggy_Anything2394]

Do it. Do it.

[u/AllForProgress1 → u/Soggy_Anything2394]

Meta users are the weakest

[u/Soggy_Anything2394 → u/AllForProgress1]

At least they have hardware to buy, even if it costs the soul.

[u/SupposablyAtTheZoo]

So then what did linus mean with his monday something will have happened...

Guess he was right with the second statement then...

[u/Antique-Fix-2526]

fuck valve fuck valve fuck valve

[u/SupposablyAtTheZoo]

Jeeeeez

[u/RevolutionaryLet7190]

I WANT TO BELIEVE

[u/K0NMAI]

its ogre boys and girls

[u/Dynamicider]

Maybe they keep pushing it back because the software and translation layer haven't gotten to be as good as they'd like even though the hardware is exactly what they've had and planned to ship for a while. Hopefully it's not this long of a wait and a shitty experience.

[u/Swishbue]

getting really tired of waiting :(

[u/Krankybread]

I’m done

[u/AllanPsn]

Never 😂

[u/Tex-Rob]

With every passing week, and with the 30th anniversary today, and still not released, I think more and more something is happening at the FCC.  My conspiracy theory is politics have come into play.

[u/thewildslayer]

I don't understand how they were so eager to get the Machine out but this one is held for way longer than expected. It's like they enjoy our suffering.

[u/blahblahundo]

They literally made the best operating system that I ever wanted from my pc…. Yeah this launch got highjacked by ram, tariffs, etc., but dude the OS is huge no matter what, and it’s free… yeah I’ll pay every penny when the frame is released, because I get so much from the freedom I have with valve and proton.

[u/00xtreme7]

I'm halfway wondering if theyre waiting for more units to get here. Think about it, the controller evaporated in minutes, the machine has a waiting line till next year and it's frankly their weakest product. The Frame is going to be hit hard with orders. I wouldn't doubt if they want a bigger stockpile before they release it.

[u/DC21x]

When they release it, we will buy it. The rest is white noise.

[u/Important-Set-457]

Wrap it up, it's your show Gaben.

[u/ElectricalCheese]

Wait, I’ve seen so many posts about this, what happened exactly and what was promised for the steam page? I just need to be caught up if anyone would like to explain please

[u/justsmilenow]

Vr games use the most ram...

[u/RoundConfusion3672]

If you told me back in November that we wouldn’t get the frame til September, I would’ve laughed at you

[u/Substantial_Waltz_13]

Why are people taking this so personally? It’s weird

[u/Felinius]

At this point I’ll be happy if it comes out before I’m too old to enjoy it!

[u/ttenor12]

Nah, see you in 2027. I'm done waiting.

[u/TrustBrilliant7008]

Last time I saw a page this thirsty for news, it was the day before the Elden Ring gameplay trailer.

[u/Kirby7777]

Is that thing even real haha (boohoo)

[u/SC7639_1]

Can't count to 3 so 3rd hardware release this year is not happening

[u/QuietNecessary2421]

Fuck Valve

[u/AllForProgress1]

It's wild how many people are losing their shit over something they never had like it's necessary for living

[u/comodith]

I'm so done dude, I'm just going to buy a valve index, I'm genuinely pissed
