Steam Deck Out of Stock Due to Global Memory Shortage

Because we all needed another reason to tell these AI slop-pushing tech bros to go fuck themselves.

Valve has confirmed that the Steam Deck "may be out-of-stock intermittently in some regions due to memory and storage shortages." This announcement from Valve comes directly from the Steam Deck store page.

The next step in a lawsuit brought about in 2024.

Valve had attempted to have the courts dismiss the lawsuit after it was first filed back in 2024. According to the BBC, Valve's push to have the lawsuit dismiss has failed as a judge has given the greenlight to say that the case against Valve may...

Valve Announces New Steam Controller for 2026

Should be familiar to many people.

As the case was with the old Steam Machines, Valve once offered a controller that was aptly named Steam Controller. It featured two circular touchpads, a single thumbstick, and the common ABXY-button scheme.

It released in late 2015 alongside the original Steam Machine. While it was made for use with those Steam Machines, you could use it on PC or a Steam Link without any issue. It wasn't a terrible device, once you got over the awkward...

Valve Announces a New Steam Machine

They live!

Valve once had an idea for a small form factor gaming PC that would run SteamOS and offer PC gamers a console-like experience. The studio partnered with several vendors, each coming out with their own versions of the Steam Machine. They often featured different hardware configurations but so long as they included Valve's small list of requirements, they were given the Steam Machine branding.

The first batch of Steam Machines came out in late 2015 and cost anywhere...

Steam Autumn Sale is Live

The leaves are falling and so are these prices!

The annual Steam Autumn Sale is now live. Where? On Steam, of course. The annual seasonal sale is actually starting a couple of months earlier than normal. This is presumably being moved to give a bit more breathing room between this sale and the annual Steam Winter Sale, which typically kicks off around mid-December.

There are a lot of games with discounted prices during the sale. I am guessing there are at least like...

Valve to End Steam Support for 32-Bit Windows in 2026

This will impact a very small amount of Steam users.

Valve has officially announced it is ending support for Steam on all 32-bit Windows operating systems. The change is scheduled to take effect on January 1, 2026. In the announcement, Valve explained that this change is necessary because "core features in Steam rely on system drivers and other libraries that are not supported on 32-bit versions of Windows."

PayPal Usage Blocked on Steam in All But Six Currencies

Alternatives are being looked into.

Purchasing items on Steam over the past month has been a bit hit or miss if you've tried to use PayPal. Valve has now shared a bit of information as to why PayPal has been a real pain in the ass to use through Steam recently.

According to Valve's support page, the "acquiring bank for payment transactions in certain currencies" had immediately terminated the processing of any transactions related to Steam. This began in early...

Valve Issues Official Statement on Steam Account Security

Your information is still safe.

Earlier today, it was reported from several media outlets that the user data for over 89 million Steam accounts was up for sale. That was quickly debunked by a security expert that actually took a look at some of the data.

In the brief span of time since our article went live, Valve issued their own public statement about the alleged security breach. And what do you know, they confirmed what was already safe to assume: Valve did not suffer...
