I bought a 256GB refurbished Steam Deck 1 month ago. Now the same model, new, costs less then what I paid for the refurbished one.
This way Valve won’t let us sell our current Steam Deck for a good price.
And I would really like the new Steam Deck OLED, of course. It’s just better and, Valve knows, it brings what everyone didn’t like about the original Steam Deck. A better screen quality, better battery life, better WiFi.
YouTubers etc tested the device for a week before the announcement. They knew it. And of course a new device takes time to be developed.
What I mean is that they could have let us know about the new release a lot earlier instead of just a week earlier. I would have waited and I’m sure many other people too.
That’s a bad behavior and we have to do something.
Valve can’t disappoint us like this.
They should at least propose a trade in program.
Don’t be angry, and don’t be sad. Think about the positive side - you have a Steam Deck, and it didn’t get any worse just because new revision was released. Don’t sell it, just use it and have fun - it’s still the same great device as before.
