I keep going back and forth on whether or not I’d benefit from a steam deck. I have a Switch. I have PS5. So most of my gaming options are covered there.

I listen to some gaming podcasts and they always praise how great the steam deck is so they’re starting to sell me on the idea of getting one (NoClip, Friends per second, Jeff Gerstman). Games like UFO 50 are a big draw and a lot of indie games make it to steam exclusively or well before they ever make it to console, so that’s also a great benefit.

For those of you that primarily played on consoles (or still do) how are you enjoying the steam deck? Do you feel the purchase was worth it and justified? Or do most people play on PC with steam deck as a portable option for their steam libraries? I have a Macbook, so PC gaming is not an option at the moment.
