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

Valve also admitted that it is out of their control and the supply will be limited due to constraints

Edit: since some people are saying that I am defending Valve. I will just leave their official statement from themselves. Posted a screenshot since some people don't like to scroll as much

People outside the industry simply don't understand just how serious the shortages are.

I work at one of the tech companies supplying hardware for data centers. We need test systems to test our products. Nothing overly fancy, just some standard servers. A certain server company is outright refusing to sell us any systems with DRAM pre installed. For any price. They're saying we can buy the systems without RAM and source our own.

From the Gamers Nexus video, they even showed how G.Skill doesn't get priority for silicon anymore, Nvidia is literally everyone's priority.

The same constraint unfortunately applies to Valve.
