Likewise. The Switch 2 is a very nice handheld, but it doesn’t hold a candle to having a never-locked-down x86 PC in your hands.

    it also costs half as much as a steamdeck.

    you're comparing a Civic to a BMW3 series and asking why the Civic doesn't have leather seats and a 5K audio system.

    If you want to discuss prices, discuss them fully. The Deck is more expensive, but the games are cheaper. And the day I bought the Deck I already had a massive collection, with many more games added for free from epic, giveaways....

    Depends on when you buy the game. New retail games on steam deck are still 50-60 bucks.

    I can also find massive discounts on digital games on switch. I just bought like a bunch of $5 or less games on the last eshop sale.

    Does Zelda and Mario go on sale for $5? No. They go on sale for like $30-40. I also just bought Mario Odsyessy for $40.

    I'm happy to pay these prices. Cool if you are not? Lots of people buy shit I would never spend my money on. I haven't bought a gaming PC in 15 years, because it me it seems like a huge waste of money and time.

    Almost as if other people have different preferences, and priorities than you do? And they are happy to buy products you are not.

    Well, it does NOW. At the prices I paid the Steam Deck was only a bit more.
