Seems like the component shortages thanks to AI may have finally hit Valve as in the US, Canada and Asia all models of Steam Deck are completely out of stock.

    GPU shortage of 2018

    Pandemic-related supply chain disruptions

    NFT craze

    And now Altman’s bullshit. All I want is to tinker with computers, learning about their inner-workings, the science behind them and play games. Why do profit-driven enterprises always have ruin our hobbies? Just so we can produce slop content to make the internet more bloated than it is already? Is it the worth the water depletion and the environmental destruction?

    That’s not good. There’s zero chance they’ll just drop a new one before the other stuff is out. Either they can’t manufacture them at the current price point any more, or they were caught out by increasing demand, which is likely caused by the current hardware piece increases.

      Not likely. They’re waiting for a bigger leap in tech before putting out a truly new version.

      Probably because ram prices have gotten high enough that they cannot price the console at a reasonable price.

        If that was true, then anything that uses RAM would be following a similar theme.

          Well, things like raspberry pi’s are already getting more expensive. Big companies are insulated a little bit longer, but they will get more expensive also.

      Handheld gaming using 15W, VS my laptop using 100W, VS my desktop using 600W.

      I have been using the steam deck daily since I am not concerned to the grid at all.

      glad i can’t stand handheld gaming

      Genuine question; if you don’t like handheld gaming… Then why are you responding to a specific handheld gaming community?

      To troll and ragebait?

      If you can find out how, you could probably block this entire community. Its going to pretty much exclusively handheld gaming in here.
