In my last post about frame deliveries we could still see a glacial pace of about 150 units per day at https://steamframeout.com/

It wasn't much, but at least it was consistent.

Only days later that rate dropped off sharply to this:

It's not worth doing any more calculations at this rate.

Obviously this is self reported data and thus not entirely reliable, but I think it paints a good enough picture to infer the situation: There is no significant stock left and combined with the reservation queue extending into an unspecified date in 2027 there is no expectation of new Frames this year.

The devices are sold out and nobody knows when new supply will arrive. I guess we're done with this for the foreseeable future. Congratulations to everyone who got one.

Stock is definitely dwindling but also as the initial hype dies down, so does a site relying completely on user-submitted data. Mine should be coming in today and I totally forgot this site even existed. It's just not a reliable source of info.

I think the site is bugged, as I couldn't register my own purchase. It might work for those that have verified with Steam, but I couldn't be bothered with that.

That and it's expected that fewer people will bother with this over time; I haven't seen too much mention of the website in general of late.

What is this bullshit?
There is zero reason I can see to trust this data.

[–] Mechanite@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

I just got my order today

[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 5 points 2 days ago

Or just fewer and fewer people bother with using this site. Especially after they got their Frame and forgot that they ever reported being on the waitlist.

I got on the waitlist in the first draw and I've come to terms that I'll just never get one at this point. By the time they call my number, I'll probably not be interested in it anymore.

[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

There have been several reports of people in the 2027 category getting theirs now.

[–] drmoodmood@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I'm aware of this. Doesn't change a single thing for those who didn't even get an estimate and are stuck in the "if we decide to make more" queue.

[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Wait, is there a third "dunno, lol" category? I thought there was only this year or next.

[–] IamSparticles@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Currently, if you haven't been told there's a Frame with your name on it (reservation list), then there's no definite timeline for getting one. I don't think that means they will never arrive. It just means they haven't decided how best to balance supply and demand yet.

[–] artyom@piefed.social 5 points 2 days ago

Mine came in a couple days ago. I did not report it to whatever site that is.

[–] DireTech@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago

Insane take. There were tons of reports at first because there was a lot of interest in the launch. I was checking that site regularly to see how many were going out. By the time my order came in, I hadn’t visited it in over a week and I never bothered returning mine delivered. At this point, it’s just a waiting game and people don’t feel compelled to share when theirs comes in.

[–] Whostosay@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 days ago

I had to be passed up. I got the email, but I just couldn't afford it at the time it came. Womp womp

I sold my lcd steamdeck to my bro awhile back because it had been collecting dust. Recently though I've been thinking about getting another one but fuuuck they got expensive. My first one was $350, I can't find one for less than twice that now
