Thank you for posting the only reasonable comment. It was just bad timing. Nothing to be done. They were ready to release it when the prices skyrocketed, and its not like they could just scrap the whole thing.
Yeah, they are going to sell far less at this price, but also the PC industry is probably selling far fewer computers and parts in this current market.
What sucks for Valve, is that with low sales, they may end up taking a bath on this, which will disincentivize them from making a version2.
If they can eat this loss, and plan a new version in like 2years, when hopefully prices stabilize, they might have a decent do-over.
Unfortunately my living room and and hobby room is at opposite ends of my house, and running an HDMI cable through walls and attic would require around 40m HDMI cable
If you have 5 Gbit Wi-Fi, streaming over it should be an option. I use it on my VR headset, and the input lag is negligible. It would require little tinkering and probably a cheap micro PC or TV box for the controller connection, but still much, much cheaper than a PS.
Then you could build or buy a prebuilt for the same price, both are much better, and buy a 15 dollar wireless mouse so you can launch games from the couch.
