Like I know new tech comes out, that’s the nature of it. But I spent so much money on my deck, a purchase I still haven’t quite recovered from. I don’t have a lot of disposable income right now so it really sucks to see this direct upgrade with 60+ fps (something I’ve wanted to see for a long time) and not only can I not afford it, my existing deck got a PRICE DROP so I can’t even sell it to recoup my losses to buy the new one. It doesn’t help it was announced like a day ago, so I had absolutely no time to prepare and save.
Fyi steam will credit your account if you buy something (SD included) and it goes on sale shortly after. In your shoes I’d send steam support a message asking if they are willing to do the same in this case.
