A screenshot announces that Valve has sharply increased the US prices of both OLED Steam Deck models, while the official store still shows them as out of stock. The joke is the absurd combination of much higher prices and zero availability, making the attached reaction about the Steam Machine costing over $1,000 feel especially pessimistic. It can be used as a reaction to expensive gaming hardware, price hikes, or products becoming more desirable because they are unavailable.
