    And Nintendo insists on never discounting certain games. It’s hard to swallow paying $60 for a 5 year old game that I’m only somewhat interested in. Meanwhile steam will let you buy a game like that for $15 bucks. Half the time you buy it and never play it, but just wanted to get it on sale just in case you do find time to give it a go.

      Plus most people will already a pretty stacked library day 1 when they get a steam deck. I wouldn’t have to buy another game for years or even a decade if I were to get a steam deck just based on what I still have on my backlog.

      And if I buy a game for the steam deck I can still play it on my pc whenever

      In my region, a full price switch game costs over $90 including taxes. A measly SIX games would cost more than a steam deck.

      Super Mario Run on iOS is 4+ years old and still $9.99 to unlock all of the worlds.

      No thanks, Nintendo. Learn from Steam and have some sales.
