Earlier quoted context omitted.

The original Steam Deck came out Feburary 2022 and the OLED model came out November 2023, nearly two years later. > This is tripping at the finish line It sounds like the only person tripping here is you.

The original Steam Deck came out Feburary 2022 and the OLED model came out November 2023, nearly two years later, and I got my original Steam Deck nearly one year after giving Valve my money.

Is this verbal algebra?

Somewhat off-topic, but I've been feeling really burned by my steam deck purchase lately. When it came out, I gave Valve the benefit of the doubt there was some good reason why they weren't providing an OLED option, and bought the highest tier even though money is tight. I figured their commitment to opening the PC platform and quality hardware earned them my trust on that. Now what am I supposed to do? Sell my model…

> Now what am I supposed to do? I don’t know, maybe just live with your existing screen? It’s not like it’s mandatory to have the latest version of something, and it’s pretty common for companies to iterate new versions with improvements.

>Now what am I supposed to do? Sell my model and take a bath on the used item depreciation to get a worthwhile screen? Buy a second device with pretty much identical performance otherwise? Pay for the screen I should have been able to choose separately and go through the headache of replacing it myself?
