Thing is even if people are in queue with the intention of scalping with multiple IDs or whatever the nice part of a queue system is that all you have to do is wait for your queue to come up.

When I put in my queue for evga and steam deck I just forgot about it until my time came up months later. Didn't have to keep refreshing or wait in line or care about stock.

That's the beauty of queue for people who care less about getting it immediately but that they can guarantee themselves one without having to actively search the product out.
