Yeah I don't mind waiting for that. Not very susceptible to FOMO. I do think it's been going better for the SD than the other hardware though, so I'm happy for the userbase.
SD is here to stay. You have nothing to worry about there. It's pretty damn amazing and what we have been waiting for all our lives.
I'm not even exaggerating.
Fwiw, I almost always get some amount of buyer's remorse when I make a purchase, usually on expensive items. There's some hidden cost or feature that isn't quite what I'd hoped for.
Not so with the Steam Deck. It has been virtually everything I hoped for, and not once have I felt like it did or had something I didn't want. When you pull the trigger, I hope you get the same experience.
Glad to hear that! I don't really need one so it would be more of a spur of the moment kinda thing. Maybe when it's on offer 😏
I say this quite a bit. Whatever the opposite of buyer’s remorse is, that is how I feel about the Steam Deck. Hands down the best purchase I made last year, and that is continually affirmed.
