Well, I guess it was inevitable. The sad part is that I think that this is only the tip of the proverbial iceberg. This may only be the beginning of tougher times to come for our beloved Sim Racing hobby... What do you think?
It is what it is. Though, to be honest, I thought my flight sim gear was expensive. Then I went looking around at DD wheels and a decent set of pedals, and holy crap, did I learn something new. I get the price increase, we're all feeling that in just about every way imaginable right now. Probably going to get much, much worse before it gets better. But their prices were breathtaking to begin with.
I think that you are correct in saying that it's "probably going to get much, much worse before it gets better". The mid to high-end manufacturers of Sim Racing equipment were already out of reach for a lot of us, now it seems like things are going to get even worst. It's possible that Logitech and Thrustmaster may see a rise in sales if they can put a hold on their current pricing structure.

They weren't worth the price tag to begin with
Lol, I hear you. It's gonna be interesting to see which manufacturer is going to be next in line to announce price increases.
