De 300 heldige personer, der er med i Steam Machines-betaen fik besked i går aftes - men hvis du skrev dig op fra Europa, er der nul chance for at du er kommet med, da Valve har besluttet kun at køre betaen i USA.
"We've had to make the difficult decision to limit our beta to the U.S. only, because of regulatory hurdles. This was not our original plan, and it means we can't collect beta feedback from Steam customers world-wide, which is pretty unfortunate. All things considered, we're sure it was the right decision, because the alternative was to delay the whole beta beyond the point when we'd be able to incorporate any feedback into the 2014 products. This decision only affects Valve's 300 prototype units; the commercial versions of Steam Machines that are for sale in 2014 won't be affected by this."
De Steam Machines, man vil kunne købe i butikkerne, vil formelt blive afsløret på CES-messen i starten af næste måned, hvor Valve også har planlagt en præsentation.
