I’m trying to determine if I should get a steam deck. Money isn’t a problem. I just don’t know if I would realistically use it as I have all the consoles and do not have a steam account full of games. If a new game comes out I’m probably going to get it on console, and I have a switch for the 4-5 flights I take a year. Is there a type of game or use-case for the SD I might be overlooking? Or is it really designed for PC players to take their games on the go or couch play? Most of the reviews I’ve seen are people who already play PC, not seen any console-only people give their thoughts.

I already have a crazy backlog but gaming is my biggest hobby. I just don’t want to buy one to not use it.

    You clearly don’t need it, and it sounds like you already knew that.

    I had a modest Steam Library of 120 games, many of which I was actively playing through, when I got the Deck. It allows me to continue progress while relaxing upstairs away from my desktop.

    If you’re coming in cold, with a huge backlog elsewhere, and already have a portable device for the few trips who take a year, then I see no point in it.
