I see your point. It's evident valve don't have the production power of a Sony (even if they got absolutely destroyed for months for each release) or Nintendo.
I don't know if it's really a "problem" per se. They're a lot smaller as a hardware builder so they can't have the same infrastructures,I don't think the demand would be strong enough. But that certainly makes them an easier target for scalpers
Just like for any product... Give me one awaited product that didn't get recked by scalpers.
Ps5, switch 2, ... Hell even ram...
When you have enough money, scarcity is easily created. What would you want ? To have businesses to have production lines that can handle release volume? What do you do with them after, when the demand is slowing, it's faaaaaaarrrr from free.
That's a really shitty take my friend. Scalpers are people with money and time that are creating scarcity.
They're basically building a temporary monopole to impose stupid price. It should be illegal just like concert ticket reselling is being blocked in a lot of country.
They are shitty people who don't give a flying fuck about anyone else and who would sell their mother's if they could. Soulless husk
Hell, I even got fired from a nursing job for telling doctors they did a poor job with a patient to their face. While being the main income, with two kids.
You adapt, find something else.
No regrets, would even say it's a building moment for oneself. If you fold at the first pression, you'll always fold. My moral compass is too important for me to sell it.
Can't find ? Change job, change region, change country. Most of the time, you have a choice.
One if the very few YouTubers I forbid my kids to watch. He's pretty much a summary of what's rotten in our civilization. Such a piece of shit.
