      lol now we’re pretending we have to buy a new tv to own a console? I mean I can add random items to the steam deck price too, computer monitor $200, wireless game pad $100, joystick grips $10! It’s silly isn’t it?

        No you can’t? Do you even know what the steam deck is? It’s a hand held gaming device, like the Nintendo Switch. Adding a computer monitor to the steam decks price tag is nonsensical. Like the Switch you’d be using a TV if your hooking it into something. A wireless controller? Why? It’s a steam deck it has a controller built in. Joystick grips? The fact you think those are needed goes to show how shit the standard console controllers are lmao.

          and don’t forget repairability - i recently broke the digitizer of my steam deck, i just went to ifixit and ordered a new one for 100€. you can repair everything on that thing with a simple screwdriver, which is whack

        Fair 🤷

        We can do the same with steam sales, itch games, games downloaded from Patreon.
