I bought a 256GB refurbished Steam Deck 1 month ago. Now the same model, new, costs less then what I paid for the refurbished one.
This way Valve won’t let us sell our current Steam Deck for a good price.
And I would really like the new Steam Deck OLED, of course. It’s just better and, Valve knows, it brings what everyone didn’t like about the original Steam Deck. A better screen quality, better battery life, better WiFi.
YouTubers etc tested the device for a week before the announcement. They knew it. And of course a new device takes time to be developed.
What I mean is that they could have let us know about the new release a lot earlier instead of just a week earlier. I would have waited and I’m sure many other people too.
That’s a bad behavior and we have to do something.
Valve can’t disappoint us like this.
They should at least propose a trade in program.
Google: FOMO
If you let tech releases make you feel bad just because you have the “last years best model” instead of the “this years best model” - you are doing something wrong.
Dont let corporations into your mind like that.
What you feel just means their marketing works. They hit your “wanna have” mind with “look at this shiny thing”.
