The scalpers are just filling a market demand. Even without the scalpers you wouldn’t be able to get the steam frame yet

They’re not fulfilling a market demand, Valve intentionally underproduced Steam Frames to create temporary artificial scarcity (hype) and the scalpers are taking advantage of that. Supply & demand aren’t natural laws because humans control production levels. Scalpers are lowkey encouraged by Valve because they increase the perception of value/scarcity
