Yeah lol.... That's definitely NEVER been a tactic of retailers.... Present something as sold out when it's actually not. Weird they chose not to do the reservation system over there. Almost like they wanted this exact scenario
Demand for Valve's new Linux mini PC exceeds supply in Japan and Taiwan. This market may view the Steam Machine price as reasonable enough to invest in the console challenger. Lacking a reservation system before its release date, Komodo Station disappointed customers.
