The Steam Deck isn't available in Australia yet primarily due to regulatory approvals and logistical challenges. Australia has strict regulations for electronics, and Valve might still be navigating through that. Also, global supply chain issues have been affecting electronics distribution worldwide, making it tougher to launch in additional markets.

As someone eagerly waiting down under, I heard it's partly because of the certification processes specific to Australia. Things like safety, wireless communication standards, and other local compliance requirements can slow things down a lot.
