    they’re trying to beat the age verification laws to market because they know afterwards will be a shit show.

    they know customers won’t be spending money on hardware that is ID nerfed.

    if valve gets the hardware to market now, along with the software it’s more likely that people will buy the hardware later and flash older firmware later that doesn’t require ID verification.
