The fucking octiger got me cackling was not expecting that

I’ll allow it

Okay so now Epic is getting 0% on 0 sales rather than 12% on zero sales.

Just challenge Steam with better buyer protections and you will actually make proper check out your store. Cause we know after years of your service trying to attract AAA publishers that no Steam users swapped over.

Knowing how backwards things are here, yeah probably

So let me get this straight you are upset that Valve is charging you for a repair 4 months after your warranty ended? Your warranty that lasted 12 months, so been out of warranty about a 1/3rd of the time it was in warranty. Yeah that is not just out of warranty, if it was a few days or even a week or two out of warranty you would have a point.

The cost doesn’t even seem all that unreasonable given a 3 hour repair time. Since Valve makes sure its employees are well taken care of and you have to cover the cost of the broken part(s).

This is just an unlucky issue that cropped up after your warranty ended. Not really on Valve to solve it for free and they gave you a quote on what it costs to have them fix it. You are free to ask 3rd party repair companies what they think the cost of the repair is. But I’d wager it’d be pretty similar given Valve has the parts easily available for purchase at fair prices.

Edit: Since OP edited their post to remove details here are some I remember:

• Device was bought in November 2023, roughly 16 months old according to OP
• 12 month warranty that ended
• Valve quoted them at $197 for the cost of the repair
• 3 month new warranty was offered after the repair was completed
• OP said they are not capable of doing the repair themself
• Said the repair would take 3 hours to complete
• Also said the battery needed to be drained for the repair and that isn’t easily doable given the device’s current condition

Edit 2: Electric Boogaloo Searched through OP’s post history to see if I could find any more details and here’s what I found

• In another comment they actually state the system is 18 months old and 6 months from warranty
• They also previously stated Valve quoted the repair at $185 and the parts at $80 before upping the total in this post
• And that they are an American, so sadly they don’t benefit from EU regulations

Alright I’ll cross scop from Mike Pondsmith’s cyberpunk off the bingo card, that makes 36 blackouts so far

So we aren’t talking about the recent ones which affect the rest of the nations then?
