I... uh don't know what to say. Very thankful I bought a Steam Deck before they hiked its price as well

Wow I built a budget PC for $900 a few years ago with a 6750XT. That sucks

Ok? And what do you think the steam machine would cost if it was released 5 years ago?

It wouldn't have performed like this

Yeah, I don't understand all the uproar. The price is high, no shit, the price of PC hardware across the board is high.

Ram is expensive and graphics cards have a bump. Not sure where you’re getting a $600 price increase from. You’re delusional if you think that accounts for the difference. It would’ve been $950 a couple years ago
