Valve trabaja para solucionar los problemas de existencias de Steam Deck

Valve está abordando la actual escasez de Steam Deck provocada por la crisis mundial de memoria RAM. El programador Pierre-Loup Griffais confirmó que la compañía está trabajando intensamente para mejorar la disponibilidad. La empresa planea estrategias similares para hardware futuro como la Steam Machine.

El inventario de Steam Deck se agotó en febrero debido a una escasez generalizada de memoria RAM que afecta a la industria tecnológica. El programador de Valve, Pierre-Loup Griffais, habló sobre el tema con IGN el 27 de abril durante una promoción del Steam Controller. Señaló los desafíos derivados de las dificultades de envío y la escasez de memoria, pero enfatizó los esfuerzos de Valve por resolverlos para los clientes que esperan el dispositivo portátil, el cual solo permanece disponible en algunas regiones. Griffais dijo: “Está disponible en algunas regiones en este momento, pero en general, es algo en lo que estamos trabajando muy duro”. Valve confirmó a Kotaku que su próximo Steam Controller de 100 dólares no enfrenta problemas de memoria RAM, a diferencia de la retrasada Steam Machine. Para evitar futuras carencias, Griffais explicó que Valve diseña el hardware con múltiples proveedores desde el inicio. Este enfoque ayudó durante la escasez de microcontroladores en tiempos de COVID, permitiendo a Valve mantener el suministro mientras otros tenían dificultades. Añadió que contar con opciones de fabricantes grandes y pequeños resulta útil, aunque las condiciones mundiales de la memoria limitan las opciones.
