If you beleive them, as far as I recall, Valve has said that they were working on the Steam Deck before the switch was revealed.

Like, yuzu wouldn’t have been such a smash hit if Nintendo was releasing value-less titles.

This might shock you, but Nintendo was also working on the Switch before it was revealed

While I agree, its still his opinion if Nintendo did anything of value. BTW I played Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom this year on Yuzu. And I’m proud of it. Great games, although with big problems. I would add Super Mario Maker 2 and Super Mario Wonder to the list, and maybe Bayonetta 3, Lugi’s Mansion 3, Splatoon 3, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and probably a few more.

I agree. The game development side of Nintendo are top notch, and care a lot about quality game design, fun, replayability, all the good stuff. These people do good work.
But the corporate/legal side of Nintendo, they are indeed raging assholes.
