✦AI Summary
Valve engineers report that rising component costs are driving up the price of consumer electronics, including Steam Machines and potentially the Steam Deck. This trend mirrors broader industry challenges, with major companies like Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo also implementing price hikes for their hardware.
The result was a Steam Machine that costs 879 ($1,049) at minimum - a price Valve admitted was well above what it originally wanted .
