First I’ve heard of this, glad Valve does such a good job with warranty coverage.

“I checked mine and it happened to me as well. Oh no,” posted someone else.
Truly epic tier reporting by Kotaku.
Frankly, this is to be expected. Are Kotaku’s corporate taskmasters not converting the site from a news/investigative portal to a generic stop for game guides?
Edit: answered my own question and it is yes. Yes they are.
Also quality overall has decreased a lot. Some months ago I started seeing news gathered from random reddit posts as in the worst journalism ever. That’s sad, apart from the site you linked, only a couple more (Aftermath comes to mind) seems to remain as good ones for gaming news.
Ugh, this is a shame. I loved the translucent consoles and controllers Nintendo did back in the day. This makes me want to learn 3D printing so I can make an atomic purple casing and not make the screws too tight.
This affects just the US exclusive limited edition, right? So not the most expensive regular model with an opaque case.
This is kinda critical for them and how they deal with hardware issues. They have a great reputation, at the moment. It seems minor but Valve should just offer a replacement shell, before this turns into a PR disaster.
Just checked my limited edition oled model and on the back left center screw there is a small about 2mm crack in the fashion of the photos, no signs anywhere else.
