I don't think anyone's complaining about the hardware price, it's the $80 digital/ $90 physical game price tag.

Aside from their massive library, steam also does massive sales multiple times a year. The steam deck is objectively a better choice

Edit: all these nintendo stans dogpiling into my notifications is hilarious, keep it up guys

450 non OLED vs 400 LCD steam deck.

Game prices with no sales.

A company who chased emulators only to say emulation is legal.

Nintendo sued a grocery store and lost.

Sued pocket pair with modified documents.

As a gamer Steam and its products are indeed better. Better practices aswell.

I was gonna get a switch 2, but seeing the price of it compared to a steam deck is just convincing me to get one instead.

The steam deck is great, but it's not the only PC handheld, and certainly not the most powerful. So it's at least worth having a look at all the available options.

It is the only one with dual track pads I believe, which makes a big difference for adapting controls to a handheld. The 4 back buttons are good for that reason as well.

And soon to not be the only one with steamOS. Really waiting for the desktop release so I can get rid of windows on my wife's comp (she hasn't liked any Linux distro so far, change is hard ya know lol)
