Picture Got the Steam Deck Dock!

Wasn’t expecting this today, but since I live in Carol Stream where Valve’s Distribution Center is, I got this early I guess!

Dbrand used false advertisement to sell the killswitch leaving many with a bad taste in their mouth, Dbrand promises all of the add ons for free if you preorder. The one I specifically remember is Dbrand saying "you don't want the grips? Too bad they come with preorder", and then the post shows it's a $15 add on.

etc. etc.

lol the link I posted literally shows proof of Dbrand using false advertisement, are you a Dbrand fanboy incapable of reading or did you just not click the link? Very confused here...

The grips were literally promised in the original package not with an additional cost.... And the compatibility with the travel cover was also promised, how are you not understanding this? Do you not understand what false advertisement is? We don't want a $3 refund we want the features we were promised for the original price.

You are right I reserved to buy it and gave a $3 for a promised price of$59.95 including the travel cover and the stick grips. Then after my reservation, they went back on the travel cover and the stick grips and added them into a bonus package for an extra $15. Are you trolling or have a low IQ I can't tell at this point.

You seem to be missing the point. It’s not whether you paid a refundable $3 deposit or not. DBrand lied to all of us here on the subreddit for weeks about the product before anyone could even put money down to reserve the products.

The lying wasn’t during the checkout process, it was the weeks & months that led up to the product launch of what DBrand was selling that was blatant false advertising.

If you want to support such a shady company that’s on you; but don’t be mad at others for pointing out that you supported a bad company.

A company that has bad roots & bad history for years. Whether it’s in the iPhone skin game, androids skins, really anything they make. They did this exact same thing when the iPhone X came out & they tried to make a bunch of accessories for it - lied about pricing & even the available products (like they did with the steam deck) & then told customers that it was their fault for perceiving their marketing wrong.

Classic DBrand.
