    You have to be registered there, and be logged and watching the show
    December 8th, 5PM PST.
    You need to have made a purchase on Steam between November 14, 2021 and November 14, 2022 (you can check this under Account Details in one of steam menus).

    Good luck!!

    Yeah. I've no real interest in a SteamDeck. And I don't give a damn
    about their game show. But I've made myself a note to watch the damn
    thing because I can't resist the chance to get something free. I'll be streaming it in the background, sound off, unwatched but who knows,
    maybe I'll get some new kit to oogle at for a few weeks and then shove
    in the closet with all the other useless gadgets. I know the odds are incredibly slim, but who can resist the urge to acquire more clutter?
    Not me, that's for sure!

    (Gee, I hope I qualify... do you think I've any purchases made within
    the time limit ;-)

    Thanks for the alert, I might watch it if I remember and it doesn't go too long.
    Free hardware is always welcome!
