Many were excited, while others sought further clarification on what exactly this meant for users. One Twitter user wanted further clarification, and Valve designer Lawrence Yang replied with a succinct answer.Sean Hollister@StarFire2258@OnDeck Just to be clear, are you saying weekly production has doubled completely as of this next week? I.e. doubled from what it was last week, and the week before that, etc? cc @lawrenceyang391@OnDeck Just to be clear, are you saying weekly production has doubled completely as of this next week? I.e. doubled from what it was last week, and the week before that, etc? cc @lawrenceyangLawrence Yang@lawrenceyang@StarFire2258 @OnDeck In previous weeks we were shipping x units / week to customers, starting this week we'll be shipping 2x units / week.2826@StarFire2258 @OnDeck In previous weeks we were shipping x units / week to customers, starting this week we'll be shipping 2x units / week.Others asked if this was an expected increase, and one reply to that user stated that Valve made it clear earlier that production speed would eventually increase. It would mostly benefit people who have later expected arrival times, instead of those that are coming soon.Behzad@behzad_abd@lawrenceyang @StarFire2258 @OnDeck Was this an expected and planned increase in production? Was it already considered in the delivery estimations for preorders? :)6@lawrenceyang @StarFire2258 @OnDeck Was this an expected and planned increase in production?

So most likely won't see much change if your bracket is fairly soon, but you could see an earlier shipping if you're one of the later brackets if they're ahead of schedule.3@behzad_abd @lawrenceyang @StarFire2258 @OnDeck They'd mentioned when Decks first started shipping that production speeds would eventually increase.

Several Twitter users are in the “post Q3” block of pre-orders, so they wanted to know if there would be further announcements. They did not appear to receive a reply from Valve, however.Germany@Jblockman94@lawrenceyang @StarFire2258 @OnDeck @lawrenceyang Any idea of when you’ll announce Q4 and After Q4 slots?@lawrenceyang @StarFire2258 @OnDeck @lawrenceyang Any idea of when you’ll announce Q4 and After Q4 slots?Leonya Almonds@undefiened@lawrenceyang @StarFire2258 @OnDeck Will there be an update for After Q3 queues?

Does this mean I should start refresh my steam page 50 times a day?@lawrenceyang @StarFire2258 @OnDeck I am after Q3. Does this mean I should start refresh my steam page 50 times a day?At least one Twitter user was hoping there could be a smaller Steam Deck, similar to the PlayStation Vita. A reply to that would claim the product is already weak, and that would require making it even weaker.Others suggested that it’s not feasible, because the screen size would suffer. This is due to many games not being optimized for such small screens.Tyler Phillips@ulrich5000@OnDeck Can we get a smaller model? Maybe closer to Vita size..? For the library and possibly alone, I'd pay good money for it. I'm holding off on the Steam Deck until a smaller model is released.2@OnDeck Can we get a smaller model? Maybe closer to Vita size..?

Many games are not optimized for such small screens, so they are even often a pain with their font sizes on the deck.
