Couldn't you just use Yuzu and pirate games - on the steamdeck?

It's Switch 2 games we're talking about here...

Switch 2: emulation boogaloo

I genuinely believe a primary driving factor for the switch 2 was to hinder emulation of new releases. I don't remember any of this but I think my friend said TOTK was available on bad websites a week before the official release. But I wouldn't know.

Two weeks if I'm not mistaken

The new connection for the controllers also makes me think they didn't want to take a chance with a fumble like on the switch where you can ground a pin to hack your switch...

I think the last Nintendo game I payed for was animal crossing new horizons. Yea, I'll be alright with my back catalog and the occasional indie game that costs less than 20$. All I wanted was another punch-out but I played the "Big Boy Boxing" demo and it was pretty fun, so I will not be buying a switch 2 any time soon if at all.

Also missing out "paying for the internet twice"

Eh, with the prices you could upgrade from steam deck to better specs, maybe switch will have better battery

I would just like to remind everyone that Nintendo was predatory when EA and Activision were the good(ish) guys.

Dont at me.
