I have a Deck, but a Switch Lite is much more portable.

All things switch are a problem for the gaming community as a whole. This game would run on a $100 mini PC, steam deck, $200 laptop, basically anything as cheap or cheaper than a switch. If you let Nintendo control the future of gaming, we are all in trouble, with $90 games and total hardware lockdown. I have two young kids too, and they both have cheap PCs and access to a few steam decks and we all save money, have access to mods and non Nintendo approved things. don't put all your chicken wings in a single basket, especially a single company with locked down hardware that care little for the consumer.

I mean, you might as well ask for a mobile port, with touch screen controls, for all the good it is to play quality games on a switch lite, And this guy actually has a deck and isn't using it to play this game. Oh well, some people want the moon, or are brainwashed by Nintendo. Actually, if they make an android port I can play it on my anbernic with an oled screen and like 4x battery life of a switch lite and hall effect controls that are actually comfortable to use.

The €90 number is for physical games in Europe. Steam doesn't let you physically own your games at all. If your Steam account is gone, so are your games.

Digital games, and physical games in the US, are $80, which is the result of inflation. Did you miss Steam asking the same amount of money for terrible AAA games like Forspoken?

Locked down hardware is desirable for consoles and phones. Cheating and piracy in Switch and PS5 games is impossible while on PC it's a huge problem. That's why Nintendo and Sony can charge for online multiplayer but Valve cannot.

Nintendo has no plans nor ability nor will to destroy the PC industry, they use PC's and Macs for developing their games and running their business after all.

He mentioned the size and heaviness of the Steam Deck already, and then you also have the battery life (thanks x86 architecture) and the not super reliable Arch Linux + Steam Linux Runtime + Wine/Proton layers most games including this one run on.
