This take is in bad faith, because most people that are going to buy a switch 2 already have a switch and you can play older games on it and it's only 10$ to upgrade if there is a new edition for a game you have. And it's true that Nintendo doesn't really discount older games but you can buy them used for cheap.

Who the fuck is paying $90 for a Nintendo game? I didn't pay half that for the whole Star Wars set.

No one, the most expensive games on Switch 2 so far are $80. The meme is spreading false information just to make people angry and farm upvotes.
Digital is 79.99. Physical game card is 89.99.
n65 games are going for $50/cartrige these days. They're actually a commodity.
Everyone knows what Steam does better, but there are a few things I wish they'd improve :
- more granular touch display
- higher resolution screen + larger higher res touch pad surfaces
- TMR sticks
- a REAL dock with simpler connection of some kind that doesn't require a weird USB-C connected cable dangling off the top (but still would support 3rd party docks with that USB-C port)
- better vibration motors
- pressure sensitive face buttons (this hasn't been done standard since the PS2 era, but would open up the possibility of PROPER PS2 emulation for games like MGS2 and MGS3, which STILL hasn't been done right thanks to the disappearance of pressure sensitive face buttons)
- hot-swappable batteries that can be charged in the Deck or externally if needed
- haptic triggers
- NFC
- built-in microphone array to allow voice chat + isolation
- built-in simple web cam / IR sensor array for face tracking / video chat / streamer setup
- advanced optional stylus with pressure sensitivity / pointer function similar to a wii-mote that can be stored / recharged on top magnetically / wirelessly
My sole motivation for ever buying a Nintendo product would be for Pokémon.
I'm not saying you should stop, but I am saying people like you are the reason pokemon is so bad these days.
Seriously, a real fan needs to have standards, otherwise you're just a simp. Scarlet and Violet should have been the final straw - though sword and shield should have been better too...
Me too except that they've already indicated pretty much to everyone that they're not going to in any way innovate on the idea.
With switch you can real own a game, with steam you only have a license.
Not with the Switch 2 bringing back dongle DRM and applying it to downloaded games ala the Game-Key Card.
