Valve massively raised the prices for the Steam Deck:

• 1TB OLED $649 -> $949
• 512GB OLED $549 -> $789

The items are out of stock nonetheless.

Get used to the pattern: The unavailable hardware will become unaffordable

The supply chains will die, then the accessory industry will follow. Companies like FixIt may prosper as the PC has now to last a decade.

What remains of the industry will be handed over to China on a silver platter.

#gaming as we knew it is dead. Hope the software devs (or their AI agent) got the memo that their games have to run fine on older hardware.
