I was on the edge buying the thing and told myself that if I use it 50 hours it's a reasonable purchase. Now I'm sporting closer to 200h within one year I could not be happier.

Did you have any (self made) goals when buying Steam Deck? Did you achieve those? Or did you buy it and now it's collecting dust? I'm curious

While the majority of playtime still happens on my desktop PC, the Steam Deck has completely replaced my Switch. When I still used that one the biggest pain point besides stick drift was that I had to hack my console and then manually transfer save files and also double-purchase games when I wanted to take them on the go. Doing that got me (unsurprisingly) banned.

With the Steam Deck cloud saves are a free feature instead and I don't need to buy games twice either, which probably already amortized a good chunk of the price of the Steam Deck. So yeah, pretty good value.
