Isn't the Steam Deck already a few years old now? Is this even a fair comparison?

[-] mcforest@feddit.org 8 points 4 days ago

Of course it is. If you want to buy a handheld now you want to know which one has more power, no matter when it was released.

They're roughly the same price so it's a fair comparison

[-] CaptPretentious@lemmy.world 22 points 4 days ago

But the games aren't the same price. And the policies ran by the companies aren't the same. I don't think Valve has ever said they're going to break your steam deck if you use it in a way they haven't deemed fit. And I'd question if you can mod games on the switch, like even games that normally support it.

All fair points but most Nintendo people have other priorities.

There space for everyone but yeah personally fuck Nintendo and rest of them corpos.

I am sure steam will enshitify one day too

As long as valve never goes public we good

God, I hope not.

Until end of 2026 and the release of Deck 2, Switch 2 will be in a bit better position. Value remains on Steam Deck though.
