Ok hear me out.
Most people I have spoken to already had a large enough or even substantial Steam game library when they picked up a Deck.
For them, the Deck was a way to play their massive libraries on the go and for many, they are now completing more games than ever before.
However, for me, I’ve always been a console player. I picked up a Steam Deck last January and have slowly been building a library of games from absolute zero. I can’t get over the Steam sales and humble bundle offers - it’s night and day from my €80 PS5 games.
But, lately I’ve been thinking to myself, what would Cyberpunk, Final Fantasy or Resident Evil look like on a monster gaming laptop with the graphics pushed to the max?!
Has anyone else that’s new to Steam been in a similar position where the Deck was the gateway to a PC gaming journey in general?
Has anyone gone on to get a gaming desktop or laptop because of the Steam Deck or have you just been completely satisfied with the Deck?
I’d always been a console guy, had ps2, xbox 360 and ps4 but I realised I’d have to change because my friends were now on PC and I didn’t really have anyone left on psn. Having built my own desktop, getting all the good deals and free games on epic with people to play with without a yearly subsciption I feel like I’ve been missing out on a lot for a long time.
I’d absolutely recommend a PC if you really like your gaming, it’ll open up a new world of game choice and options however I think most pc gamers myself included would recommend a desktop over a laptop. Thermals, upgradability, maintenance, self accomplishment after building it, list goes on.
