🛠️ Valve Hardware Rumor Roundup! Steam Machine & Steam Frame

Valve hardware news has been really hot lately! First, there's a leaked price rumor for the Steam Machine going around, but the dominant analysis says it's fake because the price is ridiculously high ^[7]. Also, there's news about a reservation system being introduced for the Steam Controller and Steam Machine! It's Valve's big picture to block scalpers and allow real gamers to buy at retail price ^[6]. Huge props to them! 👏

Another massive event! The physical unit of Valve's next-gen VR headset, the 'Steam Frame', was leaked due to a reviewer's mistake ^[8]. It hasn't even been officially announced, but testing videos are already out, causing a frenzy among hardware fans!

🚨 Steam Security Alert!

Lastly, some news you really need to be careful about. Malicious software disguised as free games has been discovered stealing user data on Steam ^[9]. Don't just download something blindly because it's free, and always check if it's a verified game! We can't let our precious Steam accounts get hacked 😭
