  • I’m fairly casual but would probably be relatively close to your experience other than that I’m casual.

    My main systems were PS4 and Switch.

    I bought the Steam Deck because I had a few games on Steam that weren’t available on console over the years and a few more that I’d bought because they were stupidly cheap and played on my non-gaming PC, though it had a decent middle range GPU.

    It changed the way I play for sure. Completed more games than I ever have before because you can play in 10-30 minute snatches in ways I just couldn’t on the TV or PC.

    Massively changed the way I buy games. Not bought a single thing for Switch or PlayStation since I got the Steam Deck; but everything on PC now and almost always when it’s on sale which seems to happen all the time relatively speaking.

    It’s also fantastic for emulation and I’m rediscovering loads of old PS2, Xbox, and N64 era titles (all of which of course I own the originals of) and that’s hugely fun too.

    Like I say though, I’m no hardcore CoD player or anything.




  • Because you’re an edge case that they don’t care about. For almost everyone else (as you can tell from this thread) the battery life on the Apple Watch is just fine - we just don’t care about having it last a week - and so they’ve no incentive to make it last a week.

    I’d love it to be thinner, I’d love it to have an under-display camera for FaceTime, I’d love it to be cheaper, I’d love it to be faster, and yes, I’d love more battery but really I go to bed and have 60% left most every day and it’s fully charged when I get up so I just don’t care about the battery in my day to day life.
