I feel very sad that only 2 months after a big sale that they announced a new console for basically the same price I got mine for on sale instead of announcing the new console snd then putting on a big sale.
I know people say my console is the same now as it was before the OLED was announced, but its been objectively devalued. Considering the price has lowered and that they announced the new console right after 2 big sales, I feel very cheated - especially considering Valve has been known to be quite pro consumer before. This is definitely scummy.
Honestly I just feel really sad and like my hard earned money was wasted and there’s now a much better version for basically the same price. It really has knocked my mood massively and I just feel like a moron that’s even totally scammed. I already feel guilty about spending any money and this has made me feel like even more of a sucker. As stupid as it sounds it’s affected my self esteem that I didn’t see the signs coming that they were making something new.
Don’t let it get you down. It’s not your mission in life to be a savvy consumer, no matter what our world of constant advertising and targeted marketing might have you believe. Yes, there is a better model out soon, but the one you have is still awesome. Hang in there!
