Steam Deck is straight superior to the Switch.
Even if the hardware doesn't match up, why the hell would I want to spend $450+ on a handheld computer that I can't use as a handheld computer?
No, I will buy the handheld computer I can use to play games, or choose to use as a handheld computer that I can install whatever software on it I want.
Fuck consoles and corporate control over how you can use your gaming devices, fuck that this ever got normalized.
Buy a steam deck and forget giving Nintendo money.
Yes.
