Comment on [Help] Buying Steam Deck locally vs internationally

Adapter? What are you talking about? Any usb c charger works gor steamdeck and they are super cheap rn.

So you’re saying buy the US one, throw the charger that comes with it in the trash, then buy another?

I’m having trouple parsing this comment into a sentence that makes sense. You don’t penny pinch e-waste? What?
Either way, a lot of people won’t think about this in terms of mere monetary value. Every bit of plastic counts.
And that’s before considering that not everyone can afford to make trivial purchases. And even if you can afford it, I can’t imagine making purchases without thinking about it beyond whether I have the money. That some people don’t think past that, contributes to tons of problems.
I could easily afford a more convenient and smaller GaN charger to replace the one I got with my Deck, but it wouldn’t really bring me any new value. Every cent I’d spend on that purchase would be more efficient when used for something else.
If not for my needs, then someone elses.
People care. And they should. You bother me, because behind your comments, is the suggesting that we shouldn’t. To you, one less piece of waste is “not worth it”. That’s wrong.
