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.

    For console-only people : why not.

    The Steam Deck could be a nice first gaming pc, even with a clear library they could feed anyway with tons of free (Epic…) and cheap (sales & bundles) games. It’s personnaly currently my only gaming pc, and I’d play it more if I haven’t other consoles with games I like to play.

    In your case, it seems you already have basically every console, so… it isn’t a urgent case ; but if somehow you want a pc for some games you want to play, it isn’t a bad deal to get a Steam Deck instead of a “proper” gaming pc.
