The way auction houses attract buyers is changing, with online platforms becoming the primary way to reach a new audience. Christie’s found that 63% of its new customers first engaged with them through online sales, and Phillips has seen even greater success.

This demonstrates that embracing new technologies is proving profitable. Phillips also launched a unique Priority Bidding system in September, offering lower fees to those who bid early. This encouraged a 275% surge in initial bids, showing how technology can significantly change the traditional auction process.
As a Steam Deck fan, I’m so excited to hear Valve has confirmed they’re working on the Steam Deck 2! But it sounds like they’re not going to release it until it’s really ready. One of their programmers said they’re aiming for a huge jump in performance – not just small improvements, but something that will blow the original Deck (and even the OLED model) out of the water. They’re not worried about keeping up with the fast pace of new tech releases; they want to take their time and get it right, which I totally respect. They’re playing the long game, and I’m happy to wait for something truly amazing.
