They’re letting us discuss this ad nauseam just to understand what prices people consider acceptable for these devices

Absolutely. I think 80$ for the full package seems fair.
$60? why do they want $50 for something that’s clearly $10?
Fair pricing means a reasonable profit on the base cost. Trying to gauge what people are willing to pay means that you want to maximise your profit at all costs, consumers be damned.
I understand that’s what Americans consider “fair”, but I don’t fully agree.
In most cases, yes. But you have to remember, this is Valve and not some ordinary company. They have extremely deep wallets and a lot of responsibility and expectations on their shoulders. If they charged what it cost for hardware and what it cost them to do r&d, it would likely not be in consumers favor.
It’s a good idea, tout the market before doing anything controversial

Anything more than $500 and we riot!
