MODERATORS
Valve have made it clear they won't be releasing a new version any time soon. It's your personal choice, can you afford it? Do you want to spend the money?
I think it's brilliant, but I know others who'd prefer a normal console.
It’s a gift so its just a question of is it smart to buy one now or wait. So I guess we are getting one. I already have a switch and PS5.
There is also a program that lets you stream Playstation games to the Steam Deck, though I'm not sure if it's local-only (many of the ones for PCs, you can play games streamed from your PC from miles away if you have decent internet in both places).
Oh wow!! That’s great. Sometimes I just dont feel like sitting on the couch, you know?
