I'm still not sure if I want to get the Steam Deck, I play portable games on my Switch and while I miss out on having all my Steam library and stuff, I just can't seem to reasonably justify buying one
I sold my switch when I got my SD. I couldn’t justify having a worse device, with worse ergonomics, with worse games pricing, and technically with no exclusives (thank you Yuzo). the SD is all-around a much better device than any Switch.
I would wait, I enjoy mine and it was worth it. But the Deck does have some issues that revisions could fix. I bought it with the hope of showing there is a market in Linux gaming, along with a portable market. Having a standard baseline will help show there is a market.
It is a better device than the switch in essentially every way, BUT it's hella pricey and Nintendo has that first party magic that a lot of gamers (myself included) can't resist. If you're like me and don't have a gaming PC, it's a great additional device. But again $$$$$$$$
For some things I still prefer the switch. The Deck is awesome but I've had a lot more game crashes, battery life is not great and it's heavy after a while.
I have a gaming laptop which I use as my main PC.
@NekomimiNebula It's a lot of fun to have one :)
