Please be kind and rewind.
Good news: The Steam Deck came back in stock.
Bad news: It's $200 more expensive and already sold out.
This week, we discuss how global supply chains are pricing normal people (and kids) out of video games, and what that means for the future of the medium.
Plus: Building the '90s video store of our dreams and what makes James Bond so damn cool after all these years.
