Lol, why are you being downvoted?
i can see how it can be read as bragging, perhaps? i could probably have been a bit more sensitive about it. honestly i just jumped on the steam store after a friend told me they had released, and i got no lag or anything. could just add to cart. i thought they must have stocked plenty of them and beefed up their infra.
We'd all be happier for you if you were a touch less glib. And especially if you sent me your extra for my wife. She's not even gonna use it as much as I would one of my own, but it was supposed to be an important gift, so it's for her.
Idk their comments read pretty neutral to me, I don't think they intended to do anything but frankly share their buying experience. But idk, I'm not a mind reader. Sorry about not getting in on that first batch, I get that's frustrating. For what it's worth, I doubt the shortage will last too long, it's my understanding that none of the individual components have supply issues. Mother's Day is out the window unfortunately but hopefully soon 🤞
It feels tone-deaf in contrast to the other comments.
didn't mean for it to come across like that, completely honestly. this was the first thread about this i stumbled over after getting home, so i chimed in on how my experience worked out. it's only now that i've checked around the other threads that i see that this apparently overwhelmed them and people aren't getting through.
Because they are just bragging.
Are they? Or are they just being frank?
No, they're lime.
i don't even know a frank
Damn I'm embarrassed by how long it took me to get that lol
