      The ram in the system went from 200 dollars to 600 dollars. Not increasing the price of the console by 400 dollars would have meant scrapping it instead.

      There is literally no choice, the ram would have been sold either way, just to someone else instead.

        Valve and its ceo decides the price of their products. Considering valve is a corporation making billions and the ceo owns an entire fleet of mega yachts, arguing that they are directly to blame for the high prices doesn’t sound stupid at all to me. If they are literally swimming in billions their profit cut is high.

        Private yachts aren’t cheap either. To buy an entire fleet of these you need to boost your profits as high as you can.
