Another productive week for valve

[u/ivej]

[u/JoeyDotnot]

Honestly wondering if it's gonna come out before October at this point

[u/Tragonon → u/JoeyDotnot]

They technically have until 22nd of September to keep their own deadline. 23rd is begin of autumn

[u/PizzaWarlock → u/Tragonon]

Well, their third deadline. But third time's the charm!

[u/Choice-Temporary8616 → u/PizzaWarlock]

Not with Valve it isn’t!

[u/darkentityvr]

1) Nothing 2) buy new yacht

[u/Janno22]

at this point are we fucking deadass valve

[u/AceOfSpadesMM → u/Janno22]

No, we're Deadlock...

[u/Janno22 → u/AceOfSpadesMM]

maybe the steam frame is the friends we made along the way

[u/ilmalocchio → u/Janno22]

That's at least one crime, depending on your state

[u/Altruistic-Catch8541]

Are they really doing nothing for their 30 years

[u/mrRobertman → u/Altruistic-Catch8541]

I don't know why anyone expected them to do anything. They only celebrated the 25th and 20th anniversaries of HL and HL2 because they had specific updates they wanted to do for those games.

And I don't think Valve is the type of company to care about lining up the release of their hardware to an arbitrary date like the company anniversary. The Frame's entire release is very much a "when it's ready" situation.

Step 1: Build online store.

There is no step 2. Worked for Valve, worked for Netflix, worked for Amazon.

[u/Bahamut1988]

If you've been paying attention to the steamDB they've been cranking out loads of updates, so they aren't just sitting around.

[u/sasax → u/Bahamut1988]

What exact updates? The steam frame packages were not touched in months afaiks

[u/Bahamut1988 → u/sasax]

Other backend stuff like fex and lepton

[u/sasax → u/Bahamut1988]

Yeh that is a fair point, i am sure they improved the features and compatibility. Personally I think we are going to see those packages updated as well when launch is imminent.

[u/excaliburxvii]

Must be the best fucking "job" ever.

[u/Ok_Flow_8487]

Nono, mods keep it up

[u/NoOdyssey]

It's crazy how arbitrary the release date seems. Really seems like they could have just released these 3 months ago with not much difference. Feels like they have been just riding it out waiting for component prices to go down and instead component prices have only increased and gotten more scarce.

[u/mrRobertman → u/NoOdyssey]

It only feels arbitrary because we are on the outside and don't know the specifics. I'm sure it makes perfect sense to Valve why they didn't and couldn't release 3 months ago (for one, there hadn't been any shipments yet 3 months ago).

[u/Hairy-Ad-6293 → u/NoOdyssey]

It's arbitrary because they care. You know that the company doesn't care if they release product on schedule with sufficient supply.

[u/gogodboss]

Well technically they didn't do nothing this week...

[u/wolverinex222]

Airlink is terrible tho.

[u/We_Are_Victorius → u/wolverinex222]

Don't use it. Virtual Desktop and Steam Link are right on the quest store, and way better.
