- If you were happy with your steam deck yesterday, and not today because others can get it cheaper or a better version for around the same price, then surely you understand the issue given the “poor” pitty party you tried to throw yourself. Be happy for those that can now get what you couldn’t before. (And the second pitty party you threw yourself when you got butthurt at the replies)
