It's over, we're not recovering from this.
Who is we? And what is there to recover from? It literally sold out assuming at a profit or breaking even.
>>739851137>It literally sold outit hasn't been back in stock since the price hike
>thing with ram is expensiveits only gonna get worse
I could care less.
>>739851024AI Gabe isn't real...
>>739851202and this tells us that... what? sale was a success.
>>739851024I hate the fact that people can make a living spouting stupid opinions because platforms give them a space to do so. If this was 50 years ago you would either be slaving away or be licking ass for pennies.
>>739851024RED WORDS RED OUTLINES ON EVERYTHING ITS SUPER OVER GUYS Kys for even posting that op and no I don't care you're doing it ironically
Good, portables are fucking retarded
>>739851137>4 year old handheld is $1000>but people bought it. we are winning! I hope they let us pay more next time!
>>739851339What are you talking about? Nobody has purchased the new pricing yet
A fool and his money are easily parted.
Reminder fatso will die of fat soon and will take all steam accounts with him
>>739851619IGN says it sold out though? Who are you quoting?
>>739851787It has not been on sale since the new prices were published, it was already sold out prior to the price update.
>>739851852no , it clearly says it sold out after the price hike
>>739851579WHOS WINNINGWHOS COMPETING WHY DO YOU NIGGERS TALK LIKE THAT
>>739851024>Implying Gabe can't just eat the Steam Store and walk away fine
>>739851298how much less?
may AI fags be raped in the deepest darkest pits of n*gger hell
>>739851916Then IGN are retarded and have not researched this properly (as usual). I was on the page when the minute the price hike happened and it was never in stock. There is zero evidence it was ever in stock for the price hike and that anyone has purchased it at the new price.
>>739852285ah , you made the whole thing up in your head , ok.
>>739852363Where was it stocked then?It certainly was not available in the UK the moment the prices changed. How many units were sold yesterday?
>>739851024Repeat with me, valv3drones.COMPANIES MAKE MISTAKESI MUST NOT DEFEND THEM EVERYTIME
>>739851024Just selled my gaming desktop pc ; Fuck gayben
>>739851024how does this affect anyone?literal nothingburger
>>739852485I bet the aliens are behind this
Epstein told Gabe: Raise the price. Now.
>>739851024i already have 2 of them for my kids (they hate switch and consoles in general) over a year ago.Sucks to be you guys
>>739851694>fatso will die of fat soon and will take all steam accounts with himBASED !now I'll have an excuse to ignore my backlog.
>>739851024This is what Gabe wanted. He donated to OpenAI numerous times and shills them constantly.
>>739851024Already got mine, not my problem.
I don't even understand the point of a Steam Deck. Anything worth playing portably runs on a much cheaper system and a Steam Deck is way too big to carry around everywhere. I'd rather buy the dual screen 3DS knock off thing.
How much should I sell my LED with 2tb for?
>>739852995The point is SteamOS, once Microsoft fixes their shit it will be obsolete. Although I suspect they'll just try to shove Xbox down everyones' throats when everyoine just wants a launcher for Steam
>>739852995It's a way to get exposure for Valve's operating system, so they can eventually launch it to other platforms.
>>739852995I can see the appeal especially for people that have thousands of steam games, but the new price is a genuine insult
>>739853040$100
>>739852995I didn't get appeal of switch either but here we are.
>>739852582I LIVE TO SURVE LORD GABEN!!!I WILL DIE FOR LORD GABEN!!!I AM HIS CUMRAG AND NOTHING MORE!!!
Why would you want to buy an overpriced handheld when you can utilize cloud computing to play any game you want
>>739852995>a Steam Deck is way too big to carry around everywhere.what are you even talking about

>>739851916Why would it still be sold out after a price hike unless people bought it?? You seriously think valve would not restock for months, raise Price, and provide no stock??? You are hallucinating
>>739851024>Six layers of youtube thumbnail clickbait.
>>739853463Or they made stock and it sold out. Less brainlet conspirasy theories.
>>739851024>It's over, we're not recovering from this.Lol wut?I mean, Yeah I don't recommend it at that price to people. That's about it.I already own 2.If it goes back down in price... cool.If it doesn't... oh well>I think this is a horrible sign for the steam machine... which I mean, yeah they needed it to be reasonably priced for their Linux push to normies.>And it's not looking great for the Steam frame VR headsetBut other than that I really am not personally effected other than I can't give my friend one as a gift.
>>739852995live concept for rolling their own gaming oriented OS with hookers and blow and escape microshart's ACTUAL monopoly in gaming (and home computing for that matter)It's not like there hadn't been enough efforts before. Remember the ouya? The original steam machine? Eventually, something had to stick and the novelty of playing desktop games on a handheld device did it.
>>739851024I already have a Deck, I got it when it came out, so there's nothing for me to recover from in the first place.
>>739851024there's more panic over the steam deck price than the cost of rent/gas/food/powerlol
>>739851202Not in EU
>>739853834>selling 4 year old food at a 40% price increase
>>739851024You have realized you've been priced out of your hobby. Lots of rich people out there.
>>739851024>raise prices, by a lot>sold out, again>will be told every day it's not selling well, again
>>739853040LED? at least $775 why do you ask?
>>739852995Japs aren't buying no-name chinkhelds, just like the don't buy no-name android phones. They demand first-party hardware.
>>739851024I will continue using Steam and ignoring the deck live Ive done the last half decade. Watching weird schitzo browns getting mindraped by Gabe is a funny bonus.
>>739851024Nope, Sony is about to get their higher-end handheld market back from Valve. Switch 2 and PS6 handheld will be the must get handhelds of next gen. It's over.
Where would I even use one of these, I dont take public transport, I have the self awareness and dignity not to use them in waiting rooms, when im at home I can play my pc in any room. I played my friends switch while dogsitting once and it was uncomfortable to hold after an hour. I cant imagine getting my moneys worth even if it was $250
Stop being poor.
>>739857116This statement only works if Steam hardware was affordable. It no longer works here when the Steam Deck has no value at those prices.
>>739857436>buy ferrari>stop being poor>>this statement only works if ferrari was affordablewtf is this train of logic aaahhhhh
>>739857436You're retarded and poor.
>>739857846>>739858051The cope has begun
I got mine lol. 2 at that because I never my LCD. The people consolewarring over this were never going to buy one in the first place....its almost 5 years old, but THIS is what stopped you from buying one. A price hike 4 years later.
It's only poorfag tendies making these threads. Deck pricing is now aligned with most of the umpc market. You guys are so transparent its unreal
>>739851024I need an exact breakdown of every single miniscule tech spec in this thing so I can evaluate how much they are overpricing it
>>739853780But it's way to underpowered to properly play desktop games The experience is complete dogshit in that regardIt's basically only good for cheap indie games and old emulation
>>739851024what pisses me off is that we should already have the deck 2 and it should have been cheaper than the price of this ancient shit.
>>739860489Valve's dumb waiting game backfired on them. I was sure it was coming at first, now I'm not expecting anything. AMD only cares about Sony and AI, Nvidia only cares about Nintendo and AI while hating Linux, Intel is expensive as shit and can't give Valve the wattage they want, Qualcomm ARM chips aren't strong enough and are also expensive as shit while the benefits are nothing because x86 already caught up in efficiency. Valve truly are incompetent idiots that should have sucked it up with Microsoft and ran their shitty Steam Store. If the Steam Deck 2 is ever announced, no one will care. Valve blew it.
>>739857846The deck isn't a ferrari. You can just buy a faster handheld for a better deal and install steam OS on it even
>>739851024steam box is doa
>>739851024Valvefags lost and got raped
>>739861185Or you can just buy normal car and not a ferrari and do the exact same daily tasks because ferrari/deck is just brand thing.
>>739851202>it hasn't been back in stock since the price hikeworks on my machine
>>739851024GOOD MORNING SAAR!
>>739851024>We
>>739861379Guaranteed to play more games and perform better than whatever shit box can make in the next 2 gens. Have some of the best programmers in the world that will make it an efficient machine.
>>739851202It was back in stock the next day and hasn't been sold out since.
>my OG Steam Deck is worth 40% more now than on release What do with this information? Fuck, even my PS5 and Switch 2 are worth more now
I remember feeling kinda dumb for getting my 64 GB model back when they were selling for like $300.I sure as shit don't feel that way anymore.The 512 GB microSD express card I got for $40 is also now over $150.
>>739851024why is it a mistake? it's selling out even at the higher price. isn't it better that valve collects the money and not the scalpers?
>>739852995Prior to the price hike it was the cheapest x86 PC handheld on the market, especially before they discontinued the LCD model, which was regularly going for sub-$350 even for the 256 GB model.
>>739851024The hardware market is fucked right now. It's not that every single company selling gadgets randomly decided to be mean with their prices at the same time. Supply and demand is actually a real thing.
>>739865303And none of them raised their prices by this much. Valve is just both greedy and incompetent.
>>739855452based card hoarder. my collection of lotus petals are looking good.
>>739863037A normal car for a ferrari price? You done with the retard analogy yet?
>>739851024>$200 more>completely mogs the "eck in every aspect>b-b-b-buhhh windows 11!Just debloat it little bro, or just get the inferior claw with the Z2E chip and 24gb of RAM.>b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-buh the touchpads!!12Unnecessary meme, might as well just dock it at that point and use a keyboard and mouse.
>>739851024>please please PLEASE sell the deck at a loss! we need to launch monopoly based lawfare cases against you so that we can finally force valve to become publicly traded and drain them of everything they've got!nice try jew, SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS PRACTICES are here to stay for the PC gamer.
>Valve adjust prices to break-even levels>troons having a meltdownShould anyone buy it at this price? No, I recommend you don't.Could you have bought an 'eck for less than $500 at any point during the past four years? Yes.Did you? No.Looks like you have only yourself to blame for being a retarded tranny.
>>739853121>SteamOSSorry sister, but windows still better in all things
