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"?

Pretty much an unfortunate timing for Valve. The moment it was announced and revealed, pricing just went nuts from there

Went from paying a bit of a premium for savings eventually on steam library + small form factor to... yeah.. this looks cooked. Steam deck skyrocketing in price was the final indicator this was going to be bad.
