I wonder how much it would've cost if we didn't have a dumb mother fucker in charge and greedy rich bastards weren't hoarding all the supplies
speculation says 750ish. which really would have been perfect

Yeah, this was my guess as well in a pre-ram crisis era.
it's not just the one dumb motherfucker in charge, it's practically the entire goddamn government. anyone who isn't vocally outspoken against AI companies and aiming to put a hard stop to their data centers is fully responsible for any and all harm they're currently causing (and the hardware inflation is such a minor part of said harm).
anyway abolish capitalism and send techbros to the guillotines
What does this mean, exactly?
Why don't you draw the logical conclusion, and realize it's the American population that elected the dumb motherfucker that is responsible for the entire administration. And the American population that also elected a congress that doesn't do anything!
For fucks sake, Americans elected an obvious psychopath for president, with an equally psychopathic vice president!!!
Edit:
I'm guessing the downvotes are Americans that are in denial, because the above claims are undeniable facts, except the motherfucker part, which is rhetoric I borrowed from the previous posts.
Electoral politics means nothing when the entire issue is rooted in the very foundations of the country and capitalism as a whole. One dumbass being elected isn't an anomaly, he's an inevitable symptom of the problems that have been there for ages.
So are you one of those that claim that Republicans and Democrats are the same?
That having a Republican controlled congress with a Republican president is the same as if they were both Democrat?
because if you answer that with a yes, I think I'm just gonna block you.
Edit:
Really downvoted for saying the truth? Americans sure like their delusions and false equivalences. 🤮🤮🤮
Spoken like a true lib lmao
Apparently Valve said to look at the Steam Deck price hike for a clue. So probably around $750 for the base model.
My guess would be like 600 or so for the base model.
LTT got a bit of a guess from Valve, the estimate is that the price was adjusted roughly in line with the recent Steam Deck increase.
Puts it about 850 or so for the base model if I'm estimating properly, but that is going from announcement to now, not all the way back to the beginning of all this mess.
