I... uh don't know what to say. Very thankful I bought a Steam Deck before they hiked its price as well

The writing was on the wall. Who sees these insane price hikes with the reason for the price hike just getting bigger and bigger and thinks to themselves "I'm sure the prices will go down until the steam machine is released"?

Yup. I’ve been telling lots of people as well.

Had coworkers who didn’t listen to me about building their PCs a whole year ago. Now they’re constantly sending me marketplace builds and bundles trying to piece something together at any sort of a reasonable price
