The steam deck is old tech. It was released over 4 years ago. Even the oled version is nearly two years old now. What would “new old tech” even be?

Look at the price of bread.
Inflation can be a useful and good thing. The issue is that it can be used as an excuse for the loss of wealth. But your statement is false, still.

All through my life, electronic products only got cheaper the longer they sit on the shelf. All the way to almost zero until they become a collectible antique.
this lifetime trend is a really bad omen.
I know what inflation is, I’ve seen sonic in sketchy websites.

Anything that is still produced, and thus needs components. The second-hand Deck prices probably won’t be going up too much.

PS5 and Steamdeck are not new, they been out for a while, they are raising their prices years after release
