RAM shortages will affect Steam products. A site hosting Notepad++ was compromised causing the update process to install a backdoor in some installations. RAM prices have gone up. GPU prices have gone up. Raw materials prices have gone up (gold, silver, copper, tin) which will have a knock on effect.

I can't remember if there was anything else but basically no good news.
