Want to win a Steam Deck? Valve directly are giving you quite a few chances, with a whole bunch of them being given away during The Game Awards.
Taking place on December 8th at 5PM PST / 1AM UTC (according to the Steam page) all you have to do is watch it on Steam.tv, live in either US / Canada / UK or the EU and have made a purchase on Steam between November 14, 2021 and November 14, 2022 to have your country verified. Oh, and of course have a Steam account that's in good standing and not limited from being naughty.
As the show airs, every minute a random name will be pulled from people watching it who will win one 512GB Steam Deck. Considering it goes on for quite some time (multiple hours), that's going to be a lot of winners.
There will also be a big sale, along with playable demos for the event.
Do note that the pre-show starts 30 minutes earlier, but the main show (and giveaway) starts at the time noted above.
To sweeten the deal, everyone who registers for it will get an animated Steam Pal digital sticker:
See more on the Steam Event Page.
Quoting: StoneColdSpiderQuoteUnfortunately your region is not eligible for registration in the giveaway, but you can still claim the Steam Pal digital sticker.At least I got a sticker I will never use.......
Is it yet another sticker I can never get rid of again?
I hate those!
Want my pocket clean (as clean as it gets)!

Quoting: Termy2am here in europe - they really could have timed that a tad better ^^

Quoting: rcritI hear it's going to be really boring. I'd recommend that nobody watch. I'll watch and let you know how it goes.
Hey! I tell you how it really goes!For those who win "steam deck" or or they think they have won will have a nice surprise when the post man Gabe arrives. He gives you old 386SX computer or if you are lucky, Pentium straight from Gabe Newell's basement!They have been gathering dust there and and this is an oppurtunity for Newell to get rid of them!So the end users must dig archives to install, surprise:windows 95!Why? because it's the only OS which supports properly older computer architecture. Which also means that Linux share in Valve's statistics will see a steep decline! What a happy story for linuxers! eh a joke...
What is that in GMT? (don't forget about your European brethren and sistren)
