Comment on Should I say fuck it and buy a steam deck now? Before all the tariffs hit.

I didn’t think valve will change the price due to tariffs. The deck was originally sold at a major loss to reach valve’s target pricing, and they can afford to lose money on it because it drives game sales.
The deck has sold a lot more than expected, which has brought manufacturing costs down. I suspect the Deck fully profitable now, but if tariffs make it unprofitable again I’m pretty sure valve would rather eat a loss on the hardware and keep enjoying the increased software sales per steam deck owner.

It will increase, this is nonsense. Ping me when tariffs come into effect of I’m wrong to mock me.
To OP: buy deck if you can afford it very well now and/or you’re going to buy it later anyway. Things are going to get expensive.
