Valve recently raised the price on the Steam Deck, making the handheld gaming PC cost up to $949 for the 1TB OLED model. While that’s a massive $300 increase over its original price, the Steam Deck is once again sold out.

    How tf are there so many people who have this much money just lying around? We are in a freakin recession (or damn near close to one), the most sensible thing to do currently is to NOT spend large amounts of money.

      My best friend does landscape design and her clients are in the rich neighborhoods. The rich have plenty of money and in return makes her plenty of money.

      The people with money still have plenty of disposable income.

      Then there are plenty of people without that financial security that make poor decisions. The people that are actually struggling like myself aren’t the ones purchasing this.

        Can’t be, all Furries work in IT, and everyone in IT is being replaced by AI, hence they don’t have any money any more /s
