    That significantly gets quickly set back by the price of online services and games. An old game on Switch is $60 (I have been wanting to buy a few games for my wife and they never went into any significant discount), meanwhile an old game on Steam is $3, so you can build a much larger library on Steam even if you were starting from scratch.

    Long story short:

    • Switch + 1 game = Steam Deck
    • Switch + 2 games = Steam Deck + 10 games

      That’s a really burnt me. I bought one big switch title game and it was pokémon shield. It was 60 bucks and I was so disappointed and there was no return. I got some small indie games, Hades on the switch was really fun. But after getting my steamed deck it just opened up all of the games that are already owned on my computer. Just quickly out classed me switch.

      I do wish that I could take the controllers off the side of the steam deck and play it. Kind of like the switch. I know I can just use a wireless controller, but it was just kind of a nice form factor thing.
