I’m trying to determine if I should get a steam deck. Money isn’t a problem. I just don’t know if I would realistically use it as I have all the consoles and do not have a steam account full of games. If a new game comes out I’m probably going to get it on console, and I have a switch for the 4-5 flights I take a year. Is there a type of game or use-case for the SD I might be overlooking? Or is it really designed for PC players to take their games on the go or couch play? Most of the reviews I’ve seen are people who already play PC, not seen any console-only people give their thoughts.

I already have a crazy backlog but gaming is my biggest hobby. I just don’t want to buy one to not use it.

    I’m a console guy. Owned a switch before, but sold it 2y ago because of the lack of games (I liked). I owned a steam account already, as I have a old PC and played in the past and only on rare occasions these days some simple indie games.

    Bought the deck for on game and couch (second screen like) gaming. Absolutely love it for simpler, non AAA games.

    Not sure if it’s a great fit for you if you own consoles and a switch. Only if you’re interested in non-AAA PC games. Older AA Titles run as well, newer ones may run, but with some compromise.

    But you can emulate switch and stream PS4/5 if that’s a thing for you.
