Super expensive, low quality cameras and mics, a janky looking chat, an okay screen, and having to buy games, some of which are years old (Looking at you BOTW), for more than their original buying prices. It's just greed. It's always greed. They saw PS and Xbox selling at already crazy prices and just tried to put the switch 2 in there like it's worth a car payment, or even up to a month's rent if you want the system, a few games, and a working camera (since the cheaper one is only 480p). And they're just coming out and saying they'll be monitoring your screen and chats (which I think more companies do than we think). And they'll brick your machine if they see any mods or emulations. Want to add a fun mod to Mario party? Get bricked, bitch.

If S2 looks appealing, I would highly recommend looking into the steam deck. I don't even have the steam deck and this whole promotion cycle has me eyeing it hard which how awful they're making the S2 launch.

"Genesis does what Nintendon't!"

"Oh yeah? Well Nintendon't suck so I guess Genesis does."

"Bitch, please. You don't even got blood in Mortal Kombat."

"AT LEAST THE MUSIC DOESN'T SOUND LIKE FARTS!"

I am so glad I abandoned video games in 2015. I feel for the rest of you, though.

Every switch owner I know has a terrible opinion of the switch 2s price and the new 90$ price tag they started for games.

Meanwhile more and more people around me are buying a steam deck, I have converted 4 people last year alone. Even my nephew has one and is happy with it.

What's going on?

I've no idea what the discourse is like today but from what I recall:

• Nintendo: if you really like the Marios, Zeldas, sidescrollers and platformers.
• Sony: if you like highly cinematic games, action adventure games with good graphics and JRPGs.
• Microsoft (consoles after Halo 3): if you need the yearly releases of WWE and sports games and you want to support American businesses. Also, at some point, there was Lost Odyssey.

Have things changed?
