I won't buy one, and will likely retire from purchasing consoles.

I want a machine that plays games that belong to me, that have no online requirements whatsoever.

I want to own a machine that cannot be bricked remotely by the seller.

It's a pastime/luxury/extravagance that I can and will abandon and replace with something more reasonable.

Steam deck, or a variant, is all I am doing for handhelds any more.

I won’t buy Nintendo products anymore.

Isn't Steam even more always online?

I used it on airplane mode for 6 weeks, not realizing it was still on that. So, not really?

And all my installers are backed up as well, so the publishers don’t try to screw me. May not help with them all, but oh well.
