“these new prices reflect the current state of component costs and other global logistical challenges across the industry as a whole.” There is, inarguably, some truth to this.
Some truth?
Given Valve’s plan is to aggressively price their hardware to gain market share in the living room, they’re not gonna bump the prices unless they’re forced to; not out of altruism, just because it would fuck up their plans.
Not really quite the level of journalism I expect from RPS tbh

Laptop prices have increased over the past 6 months and total sales are down. The entire hardware market is having trouble. But I guess “price increase hur-dur 😡” just gets clicks nowadays
