Comment on Valve hikes Steam Deck prices by more than 40%, blaming rising costs

Comments

Still excellent hardware, and I don’t entirely fault the company for the price hike (though I do believe they could’ve eaten part of it for the goodwill and told Gaben he’d had to forego another yacht or tender ship for a year or two), but man this price makes it a non-starter for me.

I regret not buying one when I had the chance, but I’m not paying a grand for four-year-old hardware. That’s dangerously close to Framework money.

Today's grand is worth $750 from a few years ago, and seems like you just need to wait a bit for it to get even cheaper.
