Steam Deck launch trailerSubscribe to VGC on YouTube While the emulators themselves are legal, promoting them in such a direct way, especially one that seeks to emulate Nintendo‘s current platform was clearly done in error. When the Steam Deck first launched, Nintendo issued several DMCA takedowns on YouTube videos that showed players using this exact emulator to run The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild on Steam Deck. Valve has also announced this week that the Steam Deck no longer has a waiting list. Users can now buy one directly from the official Steam Deck website without having to place a reservation and wait until their place in the queue is reached. “Starting today, Steam Deck is available without a reservation,” the company tweeted. “Order one now, and we’ll ship it to you now.” It added that while Steam Decks are in stock now, it could temporarily sell out again in the future. “We’re doing our best to keep Steam Decks in stock, but there’s always a chance demand will be outside our expectations,” it explained. “If that happens, some models in some regions might temporarily revert back to reservations, while we catch up.” Notice: To display this embed please allow the use of Functional Cookies in Cookie Preferences.
