  • Games@lemmy.world•The $950 Steam Deck Apparently Isn't Too Expensive, As it Sold Out in Under 24 HoursbyRxBrad@infosec.pubEnglish

    People are now conditioned to need INSTANT GRATIFICATION FOR EVERYTHING ALWAYS!

    “I want a Steam Deck! I can’t actually afford these new prices! I’m buying it anyways!”

    Then retailers see the insane prices people pay for stuff without blinking. Steam Decks sell out after a 40% markup. RAM & SSDs & HDDs sell out at 4x what they sold for a year ago. So the prices never go back down.

    And everyone goes full surprised-Pikachu-face when everything is now always goddamn expensive.

    Show some fucking restraint for once, people!

    Goddamn.
