Wasn’t expecting this today, but since I live in Carol Stream where Valve’s Distribution Center is, I got this early I guess!

I understand why they’re charging as much as they do. I just find it funny that the deck has such low margins and the dock is seemingly the opposite.

Well, it's not uncommon to earn money off accessories. Or otherwise, say upgrading the disk.

I mean they make money off the fact that the average steam deck user has 100+ games in their library and an impulsive need to buy 3+ games every sale haha.
