I am a PC gamer but i also have a Switch, which is my only other platform i play games on. the primary reason for me to own a switch was the nintendo exclusives, online games like splatoon 3 and mario kart 8 included.
my switch is modded, and i use the cfw for emulation of retro games by nintendo and.. other things people mod their switch for.
but lately I've been considering purchasing a steam deck, because as a handheld i think it's superior. when I'm in a mood to play away from my pc, i pull up my switch and end up spending time with nintendo games, because that's what my switch is for, i don't have anything else on it. but the thought of me heing in said mood to play a handheld instead of pc, and playing anything from my steam library instead of just nintendo games is very appealing.
getting a steam deck feels like a no brainer, but i fear that if im gonna have not one, not two, but three platforms for games, one of them will certainly be collecting dust. i don't want neither me hypothetical deck nor switch to be neglected, so i want to ask a question.
for Nintendo fans in a similar situation like me, that have a PC, Steam Deck and Switch, do you feel like both are utilized or there is a very very clear and distinct preference for either?
P.S. some people recommended me to sell switch and get a steam deck with ryujinx/yuzu on it, but this is not an option for me because i like nintendo's online games that you can't emulate
