I like how this article does not talk about the anti consumer practices engaged in by Nintendo, that might push some customers away from their consoles. /s Nintendo can disable your Switch 2 for piracy in the U.S., but not in Europe, as confirmed by its EULA. There is already a switch in my household, but the price along with the ability to remotely brick the device, is what made our household pass on the switch 2. We bought a second steam deck instead.
I hope they struggle the company underground.
The unwashed console plebs can join the gamers with the Steam Machine/Deck and see what gaming is supposed to be like.
There’s still shitty stuff happening, but you’re a lot less beholden to specific companies over here.

Whether it is a cell phone or a portable computer, I will not refuse screen drop protection for electronics.
