I dont own a PC. Only my new Steam Deck and my PS5. I want to get games on Steam so I can play them natively (play away from home + mods). However, chiaki4deck works pretty damn well.
What is the main reason YOU buy a game on Steam Deck vs streaming it? I’m learning about duplicates and I don’t want to waste money if streaming from Chiaki if I already own a game on PS5 us far superior. I’m not familiar with all this stuff but I’m looking for some input.
If you buy the game via Steam then you can play it anywhere. It also probably costs less if you buy games at launch and MUCH less if you wait six months to a year because of Steam Sales. If you buy it on PS5 then playing it away from home obviously suffers. You can probably also just save your money and just buy a PlayStation Portal for that. Finally - your Steam account is forever - in five years, in ten years these games will still be in your account, playable, and probably take advantage of new technologies. When the PS6 and later is announced… your investment in PS5 and PS4 (and anything earlier) disappears.
