Not sure if this goes here but i have a steam giftcard, but i also like free stuff for example piracy even if i barley do so and dont know much about it.

Its only 20 bucks but im not sure what its worth putting into.

Should i just get like a steam deck or something with a mix of my money and the gift card?

What would you advise?

I agree, don't feel pressured to buy what you don't need, don't want, or can't readily afford.

Another option is you could buy from one of your favorite developers. There are a handful of games that I've purchased (sometimes for friends) simply because I've liked their game.

There are lists of DRM-free games you could get if you're concerned about Steam's platform or want to run them independent of platforms. Here's one such list from PCGamingWiki.com
