Yeah why would anyone pay 700 bucks for a highly restricted device, that can't even play games online without an additional subscription. Just get a Steam Deck, which costs less, is portable, doesn't require subscriptions, and basically works like a full PC.
The specs on the Steamdeck are pretty underwhelming, and the cost of storage upgrades is outrageous. I was thinking about buying one yesterday, so I just looked at all the specs. It's due for a second version, but that's not coming for at least another year. So, I decided to build a mATX computer instead. But I don't care at all about the portable aspect, so I'm probably not their target demographic.
30$ for 500gb, what the fuck are you on about storage being expensive?!
Compared to what I'm used to regarding storage upgrades on other highly integrated devices like smartphones for example, the storage upgrade costs of the steamdeck seem much better and fair.
