Maybe. I have those two and a PC and I think the Deck is essential. But I do really like being able to seamlessly pick up my games on my main machine sometimes too. If I didn’t own a PC or a PC game library it might be less enticing but even then I still think it’s worth it. You may struggle deciding where to buy games though and you will probably end up building a gaming pc if you enjoy the Deck.

This is similar to my experience. A few games came and went that I was interested in but not a single must have and I don’t think I ever did more than install a game and try it for 20min and then lose interest. I would just keep signing up over and over for $1 and sometimes when I’d cancel they would even refund me my $1. It was a bizarre system. I don’t even honestly think I was abusing it either be because I got about a dollars worth out of it every month.

If you were actually rigorous with this sort of attitude you wouldn’t be able to buy anything, not just your favorite video games. Just relax and enjoy yourself, you only get a tiny bit of time here.
