    I know tech is expected to advance, but this almost seems like a slap in the face to the people who invested in the first Deck to release such an upgraded model so soon after launch. I feel like they should offer some sort of discount on the newer models if you purchased the first one and want to buy the new version to upgrade.

      New, better, faster PCs and components are constantly released. New laptop models, even from the same manufacturer, come out every year.

      Just buy the thing you want when you can buy it. Constantly feeling like you need to have the newest and best is a losing battle.

      It is kind of a slap on the face, I agree. I personally will probably be skipping buying a new deck, as I find the screen “good enough” to play with.

      But at the same time, releasing an OLED version with a bigger battery to boot should fix the two biggest criticisms of the Steam Deck.

      Dude. It’s been over 2 years and it’s a modest refresh addressing the biggest complaints. Are they just supposed to not make improvements so they don’t hurt your feelings?
