We've already reviewed the Steam Deck OLED, lauding its high quality display, quality of life improvements and excellent battery life. But what if we told yo...
I’m never gonna buy a Steam device again. Not even two years and your device is already outdated. They should have never marketed this as a console, imagine Nintendo releasing a new Switch every 1.5 years that has performance advantages.
valve’s track record of releasing hardware is pretty bad. the steam machines were a disaster. the steam controller was a disaster AND they got sued by scuff for using the backplate triggers which are patented. the index was and still is overpriced as fuck, not even worth the price of admission. even in 2019 it arguably wasnt due to its tether and lack of standalone functionality.
the deck was the only device they made thats actually built well and priced reasonably, and yet they pissed away a lot of goodwill from it with people like you and I, because they made an improved model less than 2 years after the original and rushed it out after a week of announcement. which wouldnt bother me so much if they actually had some trade-in option.
