I’m in the same boat with my PC. Bought a steam deck for the same reason.
Yeah, why wouldn’t you spend $100 more and get a Switch or Steam Deck that can be played fully standalone, anywhere? This product is whack
Bought in heavy to the PS ecosystem already? Or just prefer it? Don’t want to pay the extra $100 or $200 (steam deck)? It’s not for me but I could see people doing it.
Just not many people.
Thing is, you can get a second hand Switch for about $200-220 as it is. So I really don’t get it. Especially since every console has the ability to share to your phone or tablet already, and there are loads of controllers meant for phones or tablets that are less than $50.
This is really my biggest issue with the device.
Yes, there’s a desire to game away from the sofa, which is why Steam Deck and Nvidia or even a phone with the PS app are all available. I can’t see the need to buy something like when there are better alternatives available for cheaper or even for free.
