I wish good luck to all SG residents who attend.

Gives me "Event not found" in browser (when clicking on the embedded event link in the thread linked in the thread post here), and I'm not sure how to try searching it up in client. :/
Anyone have ideas?

Click on the megaphone icon in Steam client and browse the news until you see the specific article (should be the second one from above).

Had to go as far as restarting my computer for Steam to actually pop anything up from the megaphone icon, but it did (eventually) work.
Thanks for the helpful tip!

I got a job. Will get up for work 3 hours after it starts.

Not Valve's decision. They are just partners of The Game Awards. And since the show is based in the US, it runs at 5pm PST / 8pm EST, so US prime time.
Comment has been collapsed.
Hmm, I see. Didn't know that since I don't care about awards of any kind.
Well, nice timing to give away stuff to Europeans, at least.
Comment has been collapsed.
The timing is nice... for people in the US and Canada.
We here in Europe aren't really a target audience for this it seems, otherwise they would hold this 24 hours later. During the night from Friday to Saturday it would be a lot less problematic for most Europeans, but so...
On a different topic, how are you doing and are you still enjoying driving your freight trains?

It would have been the same for me, tomorrow I'm going to work at 5 as well, same as today :c
And yes of course, I still like my job, but since I changed my employer last year it's not the same as before, colleagues were better in the former firm I worked in. Everybody who escaped from there told me the same thing.

I'm surprised it's not US-only, to be honest. Not helpful for a lot of people, but it's something, I guess

...Yup, that cringe-fest is about what I expected it to be (both the "show" and the totally-legit-humans spamming the chat).
Guess I'll mute the sound and leave it in the background while I do something else. That's how much Valve's carrot on a stick gets from me.

they never are... 1st day of any event is always borked
Comment has been collapsed.
Except that this won't last days, so it's a total failure, they shown like 7-8 winners so far only XD...
That's far from 1 steam deck per minute...

The notification seems to be a bit buggy but it's been way more than 7-8. I have the stream open in 2 tabs
one in https://steamcommunity.com/broadcast/watch/76561199009562455 which repeats the same names
and one in https://store.steampowered.com/sale/thegameawards2022 which shows different names every minutes but gets stuck sometimes for a few minutes on "Loading" then quickly displays the names for 3-4 seconds each
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah the full size broadcast is super buggy for me so I switched to the normal page and it's been showing names pretty consistently
Comment has been collapsed.
I noticed the count of watchers fluctuates wildly: from over 800,000 at the start to now 243,000. Did the other 600,000 win their deck already?
Comment has been collapsed.
The stream died near the start; I'm guessing the vast majority of initial watchers had opened a tab early then went idle/afk and didn't reload after disconnect.

They started doing Steam ID number announcements instead of username. The people in chat are dumb, screaming "why are bots winning" lol.
Comment has been collapsed.
not sure, there are names and there are steam id, and steam id are all starting withh 7xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Comment has been collapsed.
All of them start with the same few numbers. Mine does too.
Comment has been collapsed.
You know why? Because of special characters / same nicknames...
So showing ID is easier
Edit: nvm, there was a common name and still shown, so my theory is wrecked...

wait...wait.... there is a broadcast? just got it to load

The real prize was the announcement of Hades 2. Yay :)

how did you get the video to load? could only get it working for 3 minutes

As a time honored tradition all Steam events are buggy. So the stream bugged out a few minutes in but is stable now. Watching on two tabs actually

Will there be another stream with a chanse to win a Deck? Or was this last anti-EU show it?
:p
Comment has been collapsed.
I don't think they're doing a second show, but multiple people from europe won. I saw at least 1 user from uk win, The second or 3rd winner was from uk. I checked their profiles as much as I could.
Comment has been collapsed.
I started watching it as soon as the pre-show started, and I watched it until it was over, so it was 3 and a half hours. However, Steam only calculated that I watched it for 68 minutes. Very disappointed.

I think they kept timing people out. I noticed several times I had to click "go live" Says i watched for 55 minutes, which is ridiculous.
Comment has been collapsed.
if its based off time i could get the stream to load and watch the video i will be around 7 minutes. had it open on steam and firefix refreshing all the time. what a joke it was....
Comment has been collapsed.
I watched the entire show. I stayed up because I found it entertaining. It's a little maddening to find out that the entire time I watched wasn't counted.
Comment has been collapsed.
the real prize was the friends we made along the way
Comment has been collapsed.
Out of curiosity I just checked: according to Steam I watched a bit over 600 seconds although I watched the whole show.
Next year they can f*** off with their shitty show.
Comment has been collapsed.
Honestly, the competition was the incentive to get me to stay up to watch. I did enjoy the show though. Next year, there won't be an incentive. I'll just be curled up in my bed asleep. LMAO!
Comment has been collapsed.
Da heck? Well, that's a bit annoying. According to Steam, I only watched about 25 minutes. O_o I did saw the whole thing, minus the pre-show, mind you. We already didn't have much chance to win a Steam Deck to begin with, seeing how so many people had tuned in... eh knowing our chances were even lower in reality, it's a bummer. Oh well, I just won't bother with that show next year.
