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.

    It’s more designed as a portable companion for PC players but it can also be a gateway to PC gaming. If money was a consideration then the answer would clearly be no, but since it isn’t then whatever buy and check it out. Something that PC/Deck gaming requires additionally is time because many games require troubleshooting and tweaking to work properly even the Verified ones. Not like console where the expectation is you press play and the game just works, already fully optimized for the platform.
