Comment on Steam controller price

Why is everyone guessing high prices?
Why couldn’t they make it affordable at around 50 bucks?

Because it makes economic sense to get higher profit margins for peripherals to offset the memory costs for Deck, Frame, and Machine. Gabe’s comment regarding 64GB Deck’s price gave me the impression they rather go that route.
There are good and affordable 8bitdo controllers available anyway, so there are alternatives.
Except I saw predictions of 80+ already before the ram crisis.
They sold the original controller at an affordable price, why not do the same now? They make hella margin on the steam store so no need to fleece customers for the peripherals
Steam isn’t entirely assholes?

We know it is wireless, has a gyro, and on top of all basic controller functions has two trackpads with extra haptics, so it’s unlikely that it will be cheap.
