My wife wanted a switch for her birthday since my son is getting older and wants to spend more time playing games. So we waited on the Switch 2 Direct announcement and it was clearly just a cash grab. Even the hardware demo "game" is a digital purchase. The Chat button only works with a subscription. €90,- for a Mario Kart game and expensive upgrades for games you already own.

So Steamdeck it is, the OLED model is a bit pricey, but i've only been hearing good things. And it wil run emulators which is an added boon.

The steam deck is awesome. I love my little handheld computer.

Sadly the trend of $80 for a digital copy of games will be copied by every major AAA studio in the following years if Nintendo succeed. The switch 1 games are not pricer than others at launch, they just never for whatever fucking reason become cheaper.

That’s because 90% of steam games are trash.

I dont think you're wrong but Luckily Steam has a decent algorithm for making sure the best games rise to the top of your store page based on your similar games played/wishlisted.

That 10% that's good is still a larger library than you could ever reasonably expect to play, even if you don't have a job. But I also think there's a massive amount of games that could be good and just no one's played them.

This is a crazy generalization.

This statement manages to be sorta true while also missing that there's more great games on steam than the entire, mature Switch 1 library.

Right. "10% of a million versus 50% of a thousand" type situation. Plus, Steam's pretty good at promoting the better games, even the obscure ones.

You can also install a Switch emulator and just keep it even if Nintendo cease&decists again.
