Valve recently raised the price on the Steam Deck, making the handheld gaming PC cost up to $949 for the 1TB OLED model. While that's a massive $300 increase over its original price, the Steam Deck is once again sold out.

I was 19 in the '90s.

When nobody paid $20 to have GrubHub deliver their $5 McDonalds order from down the street to their house.

    you mean when people were so impatient that they spent money to call an actual person to demand a pizza delivery in under 30 mins, then demanded it was free if it was one minute late, and if it was on time, paid for it with a credit card that charged interest?

    We tipped the delivery driver a few bucks for deliveries.

    I'm saying that there weren't businesses where the entire model was: "Pay 2-3x what this food's worth in-store, and some rando will deliver it. They may even give you everything you ordered."
