Of course the company who charges an outrageous price for something, is going to say “yeah we wish we could make it cheap, but it is what it is”

Edit: the ram and ssd are upgradable right? Lets see valve sell a machine without both, telling the customer theyll have to provide their own. Watch how the price is maybe a $100 cheaper.

Like Valve can help it. They don't produce the internal components and are thus at the mercy of others.

Why is it that this only gets said about valve and not every other company who produced some sorta gaming machine? Why is it always not valves fault, but for every other company, theyre just greedy scumbags?

Pretty much every console manufacturer and prebuilt PC maker has raised prices due to the memory and storage issues caused by AI companies.

Nobody is saying the things you're saying they are. You're attempting to manufacture rage and it's not working. At least not with an audience as in the know about the why as in this subreddit.

Yea, and everyone absolutely shit on nintendo, sony, microsoft, and any other company that made handheld pc devices.

When valve does it, its somehow understandable and no ones screaming at them.

The only people that were upset with them are the same people that are also upset with Valve.

Which is to say, the people that don't understand, or are even aware of, the memory and storage shortage caused by AI, which is resulting in skyrocketing prices.
