Has anyone purchased a Steam Deck in Australia and had to use the warranty? If so how was it? Who did you buy through, was the warranty easily navigated etc?

They've sold other hardware here, what changed?

This one is fairly fragile and costs magnitudes more than a simple Steam Controller.

Still it's been almost 2 years and the Deck isn't available in a LOT of countries.

I think the scale of producing and supporting a device like this is a lot larger than you think. SteamOS is also out there for use, so nothing is stopping an Australian company from creating a device that runs it. Ayaneo is doing just that,and I'm certain others are as well. You can probably also make your own with another AMD Z1 device like the ASUS ROG handheld.
