Prices are up. Wages are not. Video games are luxury.

We're being fucked by the stupid rich.

    Hey IGN!

    ... How many PS5s are selling?

    After their price raise, and subsequent uh ... you could maybe say 'controversial new policies'?

    Look at the ball, children, look at this one, over here, not the other one!

    Media literacy: Wait, why are focusing on this, instead of that?

    I'm glad I got one when they came out. It's not an OLED screen but that's okay. I don't use it as my primary gaming vehicle anyway. Feel bad for folks who didn't snag one then and want one now though.

    Glad I got my Deck when I did. Got a lot of use out of it, but I couldn't see myself getting one at the current price. What a bad timeline.

    Base model is now $789, while the Steam Machine starts at $1,049. Not really much of a surprise...

    There's people who bought steam decks for £350 who can sell them now used for a profit after using them for only a couple years. Who needs gold?

    Selling is such a damn hassle.

    I have a OLED and an LCD. I would happily sell the LCD one, but where? Craigslist is a ghostown, my principles would never let me use facebook (for marketplace) and ebay is a big cut and shipping sucks.

    So here it sits, like brand new doing nothing.

    Something something supply vs. demand

    So what? Am I missing something here? Why should I care?

    also, because Valve can't get off their fat ass and actually produce any! i'm still sitting around waiting for my pre-order to process

    Maybe because they're shipping more steam machines than ever before?

    this is how It's supposed to work though, price rises dampen demand.
