Valve recently raised the price on the Steam Deck, making the handheld gaming PC cost up to $949 for the 1TB OLED model. While that’s a massive $300 increase over its original price, the Steam Deck is once again sold out.

    I love the Steam Deck, but it’s definitely not worth $1000. That’s absolutely ridiculous. I guess I’m going to find a new hobby, gaming is becoming way too expensive.

      There’s countless good games that work on older equipment. You could play for the rest of your life on just that slightly older stuff and not get through half of it.

      Gaming can be very cheap, you dont need to spend thousands to start gaming, you need to in specific settings

      Most games do not need expensive hardware.

      Last month I bought a retro handheld for 30 bucks. It can play all the existing catalogue of consoles up to PS1, and also pico8, tic-80, and small pc games via portainer.
