The Steam Deck's budget price tag is the reason I still rate it nearly two years on

I haven't had a device with the ability to read discs in over 10 years. The last portable gaming device that could read optical discs was the PSP, as far as I can recall. Which came out in 2011.
Again, what are you on about with the steam deck not being able to read discs as a criticism? It's outlandish. To the point where I'm not even sure you know what a steam deck is.
Disc, cartridge, same shit. You are focusing on the media because the lot of you don't understand what it is to be able to resell it rent games.
The simple fact remains I play more games that I want than you for cheaper by renting them. And this pisses people off here. I haven't even brought up $400 GPUs into the equation ๐คฃ.
Your criticism was specifically with the fact that it didn't have the capability to read discs. Something concerning the medium by which you can get to a game. I commented on that. If you want to talk about the latter than I place more value on owning my games and I'd rather not rent. Also, it's not worth the effort for me to try to sell a physical copy of a game.
Why would that piss anyone off? Why would anyone even care? The way we consume media is personal and different for everyone. You seem to place a lot of value on the amount of games you've played over the course of a year. Other people, shockingly, might not.
Yet the comments here calling me a liar and people telling me I've been tricked.
You're just dumb as fuck, every single comment you've made here has made that more and more obvious. It really looks like you're consciously trying to be wrong and fail basic comprehension.
๐๐ yet all attacks and no maths
You've done a very good job of talking past me. Perhaps learning how to converse with others before engaging might be beneficial for you
Whatever you say ๐คทโโ๏ธ
$400 GPUs for what? What exactly do those have to do with the Steam Deck?
