As someone who almost entirely emulates their games with the occasional pirated PC game, I’ve now spent about $150 on Steam games in the first month I’ve had my Deck. I can only imagine the bank they’re making off of people who are already used to buying their games. I’m officially ensnared. I haven’t been this excited about gaming since the original Xbox came out 21 years ago.
I remember when I first got my Steamdeck I swore up and down that I wouldn’t buy a game cause I already had a library of 2000+ Roms. So what more could I want to play! I had a ton of Wii, PS2, GameCube, and even Switch Games!!!
…Then the Summer sale happened a couple months later and some of the games I like were pretty cheap…
Then the Autumn sale, and a couple more games that I liked were on sale…
…I have now spent a combined total of $300+ on games from Steam (and even then, that’s buying them specifically when sales happen)
