Comment on Valve hikes Steam Deck prices by more than 40%, blaming rising costs
Grimy@lemmy.world 1 day agoI think a price increase was inevitable but 300% between the cheapest model in the space of one year is hard to swallow. Any other company would be getting dragged through coals.

Just the ram costs now 250$, was 60$ April 2025. NVME SSD 256 costs now 90$, was 30$ on April 2025. That is 250$ more on the cheaper model from just these two components. All parts costs more now, and shipping is more expensive.

Valve doesn’t buy their ram off Amazon, I don’t think we can estimate so easily. Sorry if I don’t trust the guy that spent 1000 million on boats to be greed immune.
