When you are buying a device, you usually don’t know what to expect if someday something goes wrong and you need to contact Customer Service. Well, that doesn’t apply to getting a Steam Deck, as Valve Support is known for always putting customers first. However, sometimes they go beyond what anyone could have expected and they truly deserve all the praise.
A Steam Deck User Share Their Amazing Experience
One user, Nostalg1cMusician, had a wonderful experience with Valve Customer Service recently. This user explained they were living in Egypt, and they had a Steam Deck that was acquired through a third-party reseller in Poland.
Unfortunately, this user’s Steam Deck gave out after only a year, and having no other options, they decided to contact Valve Support. Believe it or not, the Custome Service helped this user and sent them a new device.
The OP elaborated: “After desperation, I decided to send to Steam anyway (fully expecting them to be like yeah can’t help you), and I never knew Customer Support could actually make me feel SUPPORTED. They literally told me that they’re completely gonna send a new one, no fees. They then waited for me for 2 months until I was able to get the Steam Deck to an eligible country with a friend”.
Not only that, but once the process started, everything happened quite fast. Once the OP’s friend dropped the faulty device at the UPS, it took only five days for the new one to arrive. That’s what we call dedication.

Deck Users Claim Valve Support Deserves All the Praise
The Steam Deck community wasn’t all that surprised that Valve Support delivered yet again. They still gladly praised company policies and dedication to the user base. After all, this kind of customer support is quite rare nowadays.
EthanolTurbo noted: “That’s Valve for you. They put their money where their mouth is regarding their customer support and thoughtfulness towards their customers”. Another user, iBizzBee, stated: “Good on Valve for taking this route. I love my Steam Deck and it definitely makes me feel confident to keep purchasing them in the future”.
So, if you are looking for a new device, that you can use for a lot more than gaming, this community recommends you try a Steam Deck. Valve Customer Service is amazing, the device is durable and travel-friendly, and it’s perfect for taking a small break from everyday stress. Everyone deserves joy in their life, so we hope you’ll treat yourself.
