It’s smart. Also, developers have a solid benchmark to set their games to. Console has long had the benefit of a stable hardware set over the course of many years, which makes it easier to develop to the broadest possible market. Skipping incremental APU updates has a benefit of keeping a longer benchmark for game developers hoping to boost sales by targeting the market with handhelds. Valve was pretty clear in their communication in this regard, which is great.
Hahaha, they kept trying to convince people again and again that there will NOT be a hardware refresh any time soon. That was only a few months ago.
Well yeah, otherwise it will end up like Atari. No sales for the first one because everyone is waiting for the next one.

I received my deck yesterday 😭
Return it 🤷🏻. I’m sure they have some 30 day return window.
They offered me a return/repurchase at current price, so I took that. Gives me some cash back to spend on games 🤷♂️
Oof. I had mine about 6 weeks but that stings lol
Yeah I was burned and I’m kinda salty about it.
