My guess is that Valve has decided that they aren’t going to run out of Steam Decks again and have priced these accordingly.

Comment on Steam Deck back in stock, with higher pricing

Steam Deck OLED is awesome. Fantastic screen, excellent controls, insane ergonomics, light for long play sessions… even now, with older internal hardware and lessening power versus new games, it’s still the best stream-to-around-the-house device on the market, and it’s not really close.
But I can’t see it still being $789 / $949 awesome. My guess is that Valve has decided that they aren’t going to run out of Steam Decks again and have priced these accordingly.

My understanding is that Valve was hoping they could wait it out and not have to raise the price. Guess they decided that selling expensive Steam Decks would be better than selling none.
