How could Valve do this to us?

I wonder if it’s producing some ozone.

I don’t think there’s anything there capable of making ozone. My guess is it’s the heat-sink compound outgassing?

Well, I needed to remind myself, but it seems to be a mix of thermal pad oil and warm plastic…

To be fair, that’s about as “pleading” as you’ll get from a legal team trying to cover Valve’s ass.

It is occasionally amusing to go to Wikipedia’s manual of style “words to watch” page:

This page in a nutshell: Be cautious with expressions that may introduce bias, lack precision, or include offensive terms. Use clear, direct language. Let facts alone do the talking.

Then look at some news headlines and see how many of them violate the rules on that page. Headlines are shit.

“fumes” you mean the warm air?

You wouldn’t smell it if it was pure air. It’s VOCs from the inks, plastics, solder flux, thermal paste, etc

Heated components could absolutely be producing fumes
