I won’t mind sommuch, If their games were even remotely worth $80. But they’re not, let’s face it, if it’s a competition between yet another mairo cart and a steam deck plus a few indi and AA titles, it ain’t even a competition. The high cost of the steam deck is offset by the low cost of the games.
I’m not sure steam deck would even be considered “high cost” since you can get a refurbished unit directly from steam for about half the price of a switch 2.
And even a brand new one is still cheaper.
Plus there are parts and instructions available on how to fix and replace pieces yourself should that ever be needed, unlike some drift issues from Nintendo’s controllers where they basically tell you to spend more money or get bent.
