Restore AllHide Unarchivedyou're right, but the first round of emails starts the 30th
Q3 starts on June 30

Restore AllHide UnarchivedYou are correct, but also incorrect. Valve doesn't understand numbers very well. 3's are tricky for them. So Q3 is actually starting on June 30th for Valve, while the rest of the world who can count to 3 will be starting Q3 on schedule the day after. Valve is just kinda quirky, uwu
Well I don’t know what to tell you but it’s starting on 30th
Quarters are 3 full months long. There are 4 quarter's in a year. Q3 starts on July 1st. It's simple math. They're starting Q3 emails early, but that does not make it Q3.
Which part of the year is "after Q3" then? Because normally that would be Q4 wouldn't it!? Yet Valve, or Steam, refer to it as before Q4 begins. As I'll be receiving my Steam Deck from them, I'd go with whatever they say the end of each Q is.
If something happens and they cancel Q4, does that mean no Christmas?
After Q3 is Q4 - End of time.
Hahaha 🤣
You've confirmed my fears that Valve have created a time paradox with their pre-ordering language. We should all lobby them to use this power to bring fuel prices back down.
Lol I think the after Q2 and then after Q3 is because they don't know how fast they can fulfill them. It seems many people including myself are surprised they actually finished up Q2. I saw a post recently showing math of how they'd never finish in time lmao.

Restore AllHide UnarchivedFrom steam deck Twitter
Hello! Some great news on the production front. We just sent the last batch of Q2 emails, and we’ll start sending Q3 reservation emails on the 30th.

Restore AllHide UnarchivedI think he’s referring to steam deck Q3, not real Q3
Thank you!
Then OP butchered the fuck outta the English language because he said “1 more days until the start of Q3 2022” instead of saying “2* more days until Valve sends out Q3 emails.”

This sub is fucking amazing.
Yep
valve stated they are starting q3 on the 30th. think of it this way. the week that they are starting q3 on is mainly in q3
You are technically correct
Valve posted a tweet saying Q3 emails start going out the 30 of June
There you go, not sure why people didn't just say that first
You are correct, Valve starting Q3 Orders on the last day of Q2 is a sign of confidence in production speed.
All of Q2 is done, there's no reason to not ship on the 30th just bc there are no more Q2 orders.
But plus for being correct, this is a good sign many of us will actually recieve Decks sooner than expected.
Does the next day start at 12:59?
If you mean Q3 orders are going to start on June 30th, yes. If you mean the calendar quarter starts on June 30th, no. I assume you mean the first.
The first of the Q3 emails go out tomorrow, you must have missed Valve's tweet. Or you're just being pedantic 🤷🏻
Is Wrong
Ah thank you, I indeed was wondering, so indeed you're just being pedantic. But are you covering for misunderstanding with pedantry? Possibly!
What he is saying is:
Calling someone wrong on something that is wrong is not pedantic. It's accurate.
But yes, I did not see valves tweet.
They aren't wrong though, they're technically wrong if you insist on the literal definition of their words. hence, pedantic. All good man, I hope you get your Steam Deck soon if you haven't already.
No, they are not technically wrong, they are just wrong. Q3 has a set start date.
That's like me saying tomorrow is Saturday because my long weekend starts tomorrow. Just because my weekend starts early doesn't mean it's Saturday.
Definitely not pedantic 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
