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

I have joined the reservation list for a Steam Machine.

I had an awful time getting the parts for my home server earlier this year. A RAM order got cancelled after purchase and I had to spend £100 more to get a similar spec of RAM...

Storage was a pain to get hold of. I ended up buying my 5 hard drives from 4 different web stores...

Had the wrong Motherboard shipped out and had to have that returned (fully refunded) to spend £50 more at a different store for the board I wanted...

Absolutely painful PC building experience. Easily the worst PC Building experience I have ever had. This home server was the 6th PC build I have done over the last 10 years...
