    Seriously, people complain about high prices and evil companies, but we do it to ourselves by being unable to resist these bad deals

    Nearly $3000 on a Steam Machine, constant price increases from Netflix with tightening restrictions too, etc

      Well, only a small percentage of the population needs to be unable to resist bad deals for scalpers to find value.

          I dont get that part but i het the demand. People really want to escape from this corporate hellhole and valve being one of the least shittiest tech companies it makes sense why the demand is so high. I dont get why you would pay 3k to get a chance to get a console with the performance of a 800€ machine.
