And I seriously do not mean to come off in a negative manner, I absolutely love the Steam Deck, and I think it’s a brilliant device, but for me; the Deck sadly collects dust 95% of the time. This is mainly due to the fact I rarely leave the house, I regularly play games on a full PC and or PS5.
I got the Deck initially because some folk said that even despite having a PC, just being able to play games in on a handheld, whether it be in bed, sat on the couch or wherever, was enough to justify the purchase, and while it was cool for a couple of weeks, the novelty wore off.
With the announcement of the Steam Deck OLED, my Deck hype is once again flourishing, and to re iterate again, I do not hate the Deck, but does anyone else find themselves feeling this way?
Go on r/SBCgaming and you’ll find lots of folks who buy handhelds they never end up using because they want the cool new gadget. That’s just how some people are with tech. They collect it rather than use it.
The wear on plastics will be quite visual, everyone will know that Steam deck was heavily used for gaming.
