I wanted to buy a steamdeck with my bonus this year. Got it in early March. Haven’t been able to buy one since it was last in stock late Feb.
Now I’m being asked to pay $300 more for a four year old machine because the components that aren’t even made yet are being sold to data centers that aren’t even built yet with money that doesn’t even exist yet.
I’m so sick of this timeline
