Like c’mon, I like the deck but I bought it February this year, and another objectively better version came out 9 months after, when Valve was of the opinion that a new deck would have come out like in another couple years.
It’s feels like a freaking joke ngl.
I really hope Valve will do it, especially because they are asking almost 700 euros!
(I bought the old one for 531 euros for comparison).
That is not so much the point. And cell phone companies do trade ins too all the time. They do it because recycling the units and parts as are worth it to them to give small discount on getting you to buy into the newest model.
No one is expecting a whole new unit for nothing. They are just hoping to get a minor discount in exchange and helping keep it out of a landfill.
