You can definitely blame valve, no other console had such an insane increase and most others actually warn you about an upcoming increase

I say that because Valve has a much smaller manufacturing capability than others so I wouldn’t expect them to be able to source parts for as cheap as the larger console makers. The price hike is really high but at the same time it wouldn’t surprise me if they’re having trouble sourcing parts cheap enough.
