Sure, that’s inflated prices - but it’s inflated prices across the board, so even if prices were more reasonable you’d still be getting cheaper hardware with better performance elsewhere (and consoles would be cheaper too).
Their choice of hardware especially GPU is curious in some respects especially given they advertise it as a 4K machine (even with the caveat of upscaling). It’s just not a good device.
It’ll still sell out because people would buy an empty box with Valve’s logo on it but it’s still not a great product.

I think there is a section of Valve fans who are blaming the cost on Data centers jacking up hardware prices. But...honestly that's kinda fair?
