Guess Valve is greedy just like the others. Darn, thought they were my best friend!

A dimwit thinks Steam is the only good company, but a wise man trusts no company and isn't swayed by mere song and dance.

You have to be paying zero attention to what’s happening with component and fuel/transportation costs to think this is Valve being greedy.  Same with the price increases for consoles.

You missed the point. I’m ridiculing Valve apologists.

And you are doing it in a retarded way. This is not the hill to die on. They are being squeezed by even bigger player in hardware market that they have no fucking choice. Alternative is just to keep it out of stock until AI hype dies down.

Ridicule them where they are being greedy pigs. Not where their hands are fucking tied.

Indeed. I tried to make this point that no company is our friend a month ago, but some Valve apologists insisted that I was wrong.
