    When it is hard enough for 1 person in a household to even get one steam hardware to share I’m fine with the one address limit. A household having multiple devices is a luxury when it is hard enough getting even one.

      I don’t think you understand what I am saying here. One person in the household signed up and didn’t get picked. They do not specify or clarify what happens if the other person in the household signs up. Does it risk one or both of the accounts?

      Roommates can’t have two systems and should share?! Did you read what I actually said or are you just ignoring half of it because you don’t like the idea that this is not a cut and dry thing.

      I didn’t even say I don’t understand the limit. Scalpers suck. I just said I wasn’t going to gamble with my steak account over it. I have bought steak hardware before. I’ve owned both the steak link and the original controller. I had one of their Alienware steam machines back in the day.

      This is a system that hurts prospective buyers who want the product because scalpers are doing the wrong thing and it sucks to be essentially treated as a person trying to take advantage of the system when you haven’t done anything wrong.

        Who said anything about roommates not being allowed to have two systems?

        Just making the point that when it is hard to even get one system for them to share it makes sense why until shortages are resolved why they’d limit it to one per household.

        We get it, you like steak.
