I really do like the idea of switch and might be a potential buyer, but... as a long time PC user woth zero console experience I'll pass. I don't want to (re)buy games that seems to be quite overpriced on Nintendo. So if anything, I'd be buying Steam Deck.
I’m a PC gamer but my wife got me a Switch for Christmas because she knew I wanted to play some Mario Kart. The 1st party stuff is pretty expensive and doesn’t go on offer much (as long as you only use digital stores like me). Other stuff can be pretty cheap though, I’ve got Limbo, Inside, Civilization VI, Torchlight II, and more that I can’t remember, for like £2 each on offer. There’s lots more that regularly comes up as less than £10.
Well, technically yes, but why pay even a couple quids when I already have purchased the game on PC? Of course there's this "To support the dev!" but honestly... How much he's going to make from such a purchase after all?
This is why I find Steam Deck the most tempting handheld console, because it can play (almost) all the games I've purchased over last decade on both Steam and GOG. I'm no Nintendo fanboy so I can happily live without Mario or Zelda.
