    I’d say that this reinforces my resolve to skip buying the Switch 2 but that would be a lie.

    My decision to never buy a Switch 2 was irrevocably locked in months ago.

    My entertainment dollars are easy to divert.

      I had the switch from launch on a lockdown frenzy. I have about 9 games. This reminded Nintendo has never been my thing outside a handful of 1st and 2nd party games

      I bought the steam deck and I instantly 1000 games to chose from

      From that perspective alone why would I even consider the switch 2 and that’s before $80 games shovelware as the tech demo launch title that you have to buy. Might be miss remembering this one but having to pay for the manual and now this whole we will brick your hardware if you look at it too funny thing

        This is why they’re going after emulators so heavily. They know their decisions are anti-consumer and will drive buyers away. So they’re trying to force anyone that wants to play a Nintendo property to have to pay them for the lackluster crap they want to release going forwards.

        They’ve decided to let the finance guys run the company now and lost their way like so many other companies. 1889-2025, it was a good 136 year run, much longer than most.

        And that’s just the unplayed games in your library

            Haha I think anyone with a Steam account older than five years has so many games they haven’t started that they bought on a summer sale discount or whatever lol
