A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

I love mine. I have a backlog of games going all the way back to 2005. Plus I emulate anything I want to really.
It’s pretty much the only device I use these days. I dock it and play Counter-Strike all the time too.
I get waiting though. If I didn’t have little ones I would have waited. I don’t get to use my tv any more. :p
lol same reason I got a Steam Deck. Bought the cheapest one, dropped a 1TB SSD in, and been having a blast. I have no regrets.
Steam Input is NUTS. Have you checked out all the stuff you can do with the touchpads yet? I got tired of having to tap shoulder buttons to swap items/weapons so I set up the left touchpad to be a radial menu that sends keyboard commands to switch to specific gear in Dinkum / Stardew Valley. It's flawless and in 2023 that feels weird to say about any device or UI.
Also gyro aiming is so damn good holy shit.
