Oh yeah, I was thinking way more generally for some reason. I can certainly see that in isolation.

I’m not so sure about that. I feel if you already have a steam library, a pc handheld is kinda hard to beat. Depending on what you like, you might already own every game you’ll want for the Steam Deck. Even if you gotta buy everything new, Steam does sales more often and more aggressively than Nintendo.

If you’re not into paying for things, you can pirate on the Steam Deck. Who knows when the Switch 2 will be jailbroken.

For me, now that there are viable Linux Handhelds, I think I’d kind of struggle to justify one running a proprietary OS.
