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.
No Gabe, you fucked up with these price hikes. Don’t blame the supplier.

Are you…stupid?

Yes.
…in the universe you live in, is there cheap ram?
can I send you money for some please?
Private yachts aren’t cheap either. To buy an entire fleet of these you need to boost your profits as high as you can.
I’m sorry, do you have any awareness of the world past your nose?
The component price changed, what was Gabe supposed to do, start manufacturing its own RAM?
They are swimming in billions, they could easily lower the profits they make and give it away for cheaper but that’s not their goal.
That would be amazing timeline
Dreaming about Pipe RAM by Valve.
Yep. You are owed everything, after all. You deserve it.
He really shouldn’t have dumped trillions of private and public money into AI. Thanks Gabe /s
