That may sound weird to you, but my favorite devices are those that grew on me and became special.
Like the Nokia N900, my first Gameboy or my favorite X24/X60 thinkpads. They have served for years and have a place in my heart.
My steam deck became special too as it took this type of special place.
I will not abandon the poor thing to the siren of a lightly upgraded hardware.
We have still great gaming times to live.
Isn’t this just a common issue in technology? You buy a new phone, a few months later they release another with upgraded cameras, screen, and processor. Just resist the tempation if you already have it. It’s not like Valve has stopped upgrading the deck…or suddenly the OLED deck can run more demanding games.
I bought the original nintendo switch. 6 months later the OLED was released. I stick with my switch anyways.
They will never stop tempting you to buy a new product. Be content with what you already have.
