Legitimacy of GameOne and GameXtreme sales in the Philippines

[Kaito]

I wonder how legit these sellers are selling the Steam Deck in the Philippines. If they were indeed legit, shouldn't Steam mention them on the Steam Deck page like it does with Komodo in Japan?

[✖️⁧⁧ Nervenkitzler]

Not legit.

Is there any way I can verify this claim? At least to the extent that I can share with other people? I can't exactly go around telling people "because a Steam Community member told me so." That'd just make me look dumb. Also it seems like even more stores are offering it.

The proof you need is the fact that Valve hasn't said they are selling through those 3rd parties in Philippines.

Fair enough.

They made this announcement:

They might still be legitimate resellers but they're definitely not official and not endorsed by Valve
