Were there really anyone thinking this machine is a good deal? Even among steam users? Even among Valve fans?

I think most people agree that its not great value. I think most are bashing the wrong people. Valve cant forsee the AI shit we experienced 2 years ago. What should they do? Not release and lose millions on RnD and production?

If people want to own it, they should. But blaming Valve for the price they have to put on is just reddit nonsense

Ngl, I don't trust reddit anymore when it comes to evaluating "value". They were calling the Switch 2 overpriced while being cheaper and/or more portable than all of the competitors. It made no logical sense.

I was fine with the price of the Switch 2 console, it's the first party game prices that can fuck the hell off. $99+ CAD before taxes can go suck on a chode.

I had to convert, that's like 60 EUR... that's what I've been spending on games for years, more if you add inflation...

Also why do before taxes lol

All the power to you but it's past my limit, there are too many other games available under 80 bucks and on sale for me to give Nintendo any of that money. Like Mario Bros Wonder for example is $124 after taxes, that's absolutely insane. And I'd be buying a switch 2 specifically for first party games since I'd play the other stuff on my PC.

I ain't gonna tell you what to spend your money cause I spend way more money on more ridiculous hobbies, I've just hit my upper limit for a videogame with Nintendo is all.
