First I’ve heard of this, glad Valve does such a good job with warranty coverage.

MehStrongBadMeh ( @MehStrongBadMeh@programming.dev ) English36•3 months agoThis is something of a reoccurring problem with translucent plastics.
Stampela ( @Stampela@startrek.website ) English10•3 months agoAND they like to yellow at the speed of light. My brother got a nice, transparent cover for his phone “it’s going to look awful in a few months” and sure enough a few months later he had a different one precisely because of that.
voxel ( @vox@sopuli.xyz ) 2•3 months agodoesn’t that only affect the silicone ones?
mine literally crumbled into pieces under uv
Alice ( @Alice@beehaw.org ) 2•3 months agoThis is actually a huge meme in the Bionicle fandom. Shame too as the parts aren’t being manufactured anymore, so eventually we’ll run out of transparent green shoulder joints.
narc0tic_bird ( @narc0tic_bird@lemm.ee ) 23•3 months agoThis affects just the US exclusive limited edition, right? So not the most expensive regular model with an opaque case.
Correct, just the transparent case limited edition ones.
darkphotonstudio ( @darkphotonstudio@beehaw.org ) 8•3 months agoThis is kinda critical for them and how they deal with hardware issues. They have a great reputation, at the moment. It seems minor but Valve should just offer a replacement shell, before this turns into a PR disaster.
Wahots ( @Wahots@pawb.social ) 4•3 months agoFirst gen product problems. I’m on my third deck and second pair of index controllers despite light usage. Stuff will get better over time.
JohnEdwa ( @JohnEdwa@sopuli.xyz ) 7•3 months agoUnsurprisingly, some of the posts about this have been removed by the subreddit moderators. That post also originally had a message from the automod that it was removed because it was in violation of rule 7 for posting “intentional misinformation” due to the “developing a very common issue” in the title, but they have since decided to remove that comment as well - didn’t restore the post though.
I don’t check the Deck subreddit very often since I left over the API charges, but the last time I did the subreddit was up in arms over moderation issues. Main complaint at the time looked to be that the mods weren’t removing posts that were unrelated to the deck, so it’s weird to now hear that they’re removing stuff that is deck related.
T (they/she) ( @Templa@beehaw.org ) 7•3 months agoI just went to check and yes ours is cracked 🥲
Rip, I’m sorry for your loss.
Alice ( @Alice@beehaw.org ) 6•3 months agoUgh, this is a shame. I loved the translucent consoles and controllers Nintendo did back in the day. This makes me want to learn 3D printing so I can make an atomic purple casing and not make the screws too tight.
blindsight ( @blindsight@beehaw.org ) 2•3 months agoShit. I’ll need to check mine tonight. Hopefully, it’s not too late to loosen the screws!
Edit: mine is still good. I haven’t loosened the screws yet, though…
