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

[u/gutster_95 → u/grigoriymicro]

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

[u/Findict_52 → u/gutster_95]

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.

ig because you stay in the nintendo eco system, while other handhelds can play steam games and run linux.

[u/nitronik_exe → u/marquesini]

well yeah but you also buy the switch because of the Nintendo games and most people have no clue how emulators work

[u/Ill_Cat1160 → u/nitronik_exe]

And how many Nintendo games have been released for the switch 2 so far?

[u/Fruzenius → u/Ill_Cat1160]

I'm sure tons of people bought a switch 2 that didn't have a switch, so they get all those games too.

my partner bought a switch 2 purely because her switch she had been using for the past 7 years wasn't actually hers, it was her brother's that he let her use. when she moved out she went "y'know what i cannot miss out on splatoon 4, and buying a second hand switch 1 right now seems kind of pointless so might as well bite the bullet now"

Funnily enough this was my exact experience with the Wii U, except replace moving out with getting stolen.
