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.

    Despite what several people are saying, the Deck isn’t “intended” for anyone with a certain number of Steam games.

    You don’t need to own a certain # of games, you just need to want to play them in a handheld form factor like the Switch. I bought it because I wanted to play PC games on something that felt like a Switch. Being able to mod games and do other things that require access to system files was important to me.
