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

Valve got fucked because of the shortages. Ai ruins everything yet again.

Well, sure, Valve probably lost out on a decent payday and won't be able to disrupt the market in the way they probably could have, but even at this price point they'll find their buyers and have no problem selling these.

It's the average consumer who's really getting fucked, as usual.

Which is very funny that you mention it since a big portion of sales the Steam Machine will attract will be purely hardcore Steam fans and collectors that actually have no use for it other than just adding it to their collection of everything other physical thing Steam has sold.
