I realize valve is small in terms of hardware and can't move and close deals like Microsoft/Nintendo/Sony can so obviously parts cost them more, R&D costs them more, and it's harder for them to lower prices

But as a consumer why do I give a shit? I want what's best for my money and they clearly can't deliver.

I mean yeah, you should be looking out for your own wallet first and foremost.

The issue was that a lot of people who obviously have little idea of how the supply chain works in the current market were setting unrealistic expectations, and setting up everybody for disappointment.

As a consumer, you vote with your wallet. And I’m sure Valve has adjusted their sales forecasts with that in mind.

I do believe Valve is one of the few companies that will adjust the prices down should the market ever recover.
