Man that’s rougher than I expected. 0/3, either we got really unlucky or supply vs. demand is way out of whack :(

IIRC the FAQ said you have 3 days to complete the purchase after you get the actual offer, so if people who won reservations are starting to get their purchasing emails already then hopefully the wait lists will move a little in a few days when the initial offers start timing out
No idea what happened for the previous poster to move from wait-list to offer so quick… Maybe someone intentionally cancelled, like you said, or maybe Valve had a small reserve to avoid overselling in case there’s some kind of error. Or maybe previous poster’s first email actually was a reservation, and they mistook it for wait-list because I’ve heard the wording is a bit vague :D
I did exactly that initially.
The success email was that you are on the reserve list (Vs the waitlist), with no purchase link. That came in a separate email. I initially thought I didn’t get the first batch, until I checked again later.
