minus-squarenialv7@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 days agoIs there no required account age to join the lottery?
minus-squareThorry@feddit.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 days agoScalpers have been preparing for launch for a long time now. And most already had account for the Steam Machine ready to go for the Frame.

minus-squareMinnesotaGoddam@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 days agohow much do you have to spend to enter the lottery get an unlimited account? you can do legitimate math to figure out how many accounts it’s worth making.
minus-squarewarm@kbin.earthlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 days ago$5. Not that costly at all. They do filter a bit anyway: The longer timeframe also allows us to do some extra validation on the signups to make sure they’re real accounts, with only one per household. Not giving away criteria for this is a good thing.
