According to PCGamesN, Valve has implemented their own reservation system to try and limit the scalping of Steam Decks. Is Valve Doing Something To Stop These Scalpers? This is why when Valve claimed that their new console can basically run anything you can run on a PC, people believed them. It features a custom Zen 2 APU with RDNA2-based, 8-core integrated GPU (which, judging by rumors about the Samsung Exynos 2200 having a 6-core version) should already be more powerful than that of the Xbox One. It's likely the most powerful handheld gaming system in the world. On the other hand, Steam Deck is more than just a handheld PC. They wanted a much more powerful system, and all they got was a new screen and a higher price tag. A lot of gamers were even underwhelmed by the lack of hardware upgrades on the new Switch. When Nintendo announced the new Switch OLED, it didn't exactly earn a lot of positive attention. Read also: Valve Steam Deck vs Nintendo Switch OLED: From Price to Specs, Which Would You Choose? Steam Deck: Why Are People Going Nuts for this Handheld Gaming Console? In a report by PCMag, one scalper who listed a preorder slot opened the posting up by saying, "WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR MAN?!?! PAPA'S GOTTA EAT." They further elaborate that their confirmed preorder listing is just for "someone who's filthy rich." And if that wasn't bad enough, it seems like these scalpers are not at all averse to hard-selling.
