Gaming Steam selling steam link on sale for %98 ($1) along with ICEY for %30 ($7.69)

[Sonic Angel Knight]

While I thought this was a joke, is isn't. Honestly I dunno anything about the game or the steamlink until seeing this, but maybe some of you do. Anyway, is available until october 21, which I find a bit unrealistic but otherwise, or maybe a prank but who knows. There it is.

Something to do with Valve being unable to gain traction into the Living room gaming system area of sales.

 

[HamBone41801]

I ordered it.

Nah, it's deliberate. Valve probably has a giant warehouse full of the things they need to get rid of, it's not exactly a "best seller" product.

Couldn't be bothered to buy one myself, I don't do much couch gaming in my living room sans consoles, and if I do I just use my media PC to stream stuff.

Well I mean would people be buying it for the game or the $1 thing? Cause I mean there other stuff capable of doing the same thing, Nvidia shield does the same thing, that order doesn't even come with the controller right?

I mean it be nice if someone could use it for some cool project, i always thought of it as some chromecast like thing but for steam games.

I thought about it, but when I saw the £7+ shipping, I stopped caring.

I almost ordered this, but the shipping nearly doubled the price for me to over $18, and suddenly I lost interest.

Saw this on Reddit a day or two ago. People have just been buying the bundle and asking for a refund for ICEY to negate the shipping cost.

My TV is located right above my PC so I wouldn't have a use for one. Now if they had a sale on a Steam controller I'd bite just to try one.

Same here. I was about to pay then it went to "Oh yeah, 8€ shipping, it comes up to... ~20€"... no thxbye!

 

[Sonic Angel Knight]

I got shield TV so I'm fine.

It's good if you buy two then sell the game and steam link at a higher price than you bought it to cover the shipping

Not worth the effort I think.
Knowing myself, I wouldn't ask more than $1 for the thing... if I didn't have use for it I would probably just publish it in Kleinanzeigen as "free, just come get it before I throw it away".
I just think the time spent on selling just -one- thing that is so low value, is well, more expensive than what you would get for it.

Ofc shipping doubled
When hot dog are in sales, ketchup price increases.
Its the trap of modern day

There's a few people on this very forum that swear by game streaming. Better tag them in the OP.
