The person you are replying to is equally allowed to have a nuanced take. What, are you expecting every comment critical of Nintendo to also include criticism of how terribly Xbox has managed it's game studios just so we can be "fair and balanced"? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] overload@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago The comment I replied to believed that both the console and the game price is a scam, that is their valid opinion. They criticised OP for "half caring about the rip off pricing". OP didn't think the console had ripoff pricing.

Does the switch do something more or less the same? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] simple@piefed.social [S] 21 points 1 year ago The steam deck doesn't come with a dock, has a worse screen at 800p/60Hz compared to the S2's 1080p/120Hz, is way larger and thicker, doesn't have detachable controllers so if you do buy the dock you'll have to bring your own controller. It also can't play in a kickstand mode which is a negative if you're wanting to play with friends outside which is something I do often with my Switch 1. I like the Steam Deck, really, but it's not a 1:1 comparison and I think the average person will still really prefer the Switch 2. permalink fedilink source parent [–] slaneesh_is_right@lemmy.org 7 points 1 year ago (1 child) Do what?
