Man that's rougher than I expected. 0/3, either we got really unlucky or supply vs. demand is way out of whack :(

Edit: Here's a website that's giving some rough estimates! https://steamframeout.com/

Edit 2: And this one: https://steamhardware.io/tracker/steam-frame/

Email from Valve: You are on the waitlist for Steam Frame 256GB Kit. When we did the one-time randomization of the list, your place in line ended up beyond the number of Steam Frames currently available for reservation. As we work our way through the reservation queue, some customers may cancel their reservations. If that happens, you may be moved into the reservation queue, and you'll be notified via email that you have a reservation after all.

Not necessarily, people seem to be getting a mix of wins and loses all day long.

I doubt it's just "send all the wins, then all the loses"

    I mean none of this makes much sense to me. I dunno why they don't just send them all at once...but it seems like sooner would be better than later.

    Email systems have a tendency to flag mass mails as spam. By sending them in batches, it stops other email systems panicking as much.

    It also lets a human check over things, and limit the effects of a screwup.

    That's pretty standard to be honest. Every individual email takes some time to send since you need to communicate to external servers. Even if you don't deliberately group them into batches for better monitoring and load spreading, that's just gonna take a while to churn through
