Just curious, because personally I bought it mostly with a hope that I will start playing games again and I’m overthinking if it will be what I needed.
Lately (for 2 years) feeling kinda depressed and not really playing games, finished one title (Disco Elysium) in this time. I have some backlog at steam but I’m thinking if I’ll even use the deck…
In short, yes. I was already getting back into gaming and built my first PC about two years ago. But having young kids, and my PC being in the basement meant I rarely had the opportunity or desire to go play games after everyone was asleep. Being able to stream games to my Deck means I can get in some gaming from anywhere in my house, and can get in some play time when the kids are occupied.
As others have said, there is also that joy factor of having a handheld game system like when I was a kid with a Gameboy.
