    Fuck Nintendo. Vote with your wallets and don’t buy a Switch 2, get a Steam Deck or other similar portable gaming handheld.

      I’m going to buy a switch two, which they usually sell the hardware for close to cost. Then I’m gonna leave it in the box and wait until a mod chip comes out that lets me play every game for free.

      I really want to grab one of the new handhelds, seem so nice, I feel guilty almost playing games on my pc, when I could be using it for other stuff, playing on consoles fine so it might be time to transition to a linux handheld for the ocassional pc games.

      (Like it could be rendering for my other hobby with 3d, instead of the gpu going to games)

      Obviously there will always be new cool games, but also, there’s enough out there already (hell even just in my Steam library alone) to enjoy new content for the rest of several lifetimes. I don’t need Nintendo at all.

        I don’t either, but Switch is incredibly nice as a family console. Nintendo has a ton of games my kids like, we can bring it on road trips and they can switch off or play together, etc.

        So I have both. Most of my personal playtime is on my Steam Deck, my playtime with my kids is mostly on my Switch, with a fair amount on my PC.

        Screw Nintendo’s legal dept, but they make a good product for families with young kids. Even my 4yo can figure out games like Kirby and Smash Bros.
