Steam Deck availability goes up in smoke — suddenly goes out of stock in US, Asia stores

Valve's Steam Deck OLED model is suddenly out of stock in the US and several Asian countries, including Japan, Hong Kong, Korea, and Taiwan. While the LCD version production was halted in December, there was no indication of the OLED model being discontinued. Speculation is rife about Valve's manufacturing plans amidst component shortages, with some users reporting stock availability in Europe and a note suggesting a February restock in Japan. Valve has not commented on the situation, leading to uncertainty about the future availability of the handheld gaming PC.
