The consumer movement to stop game publishers from destroying older games with kill switches after official support ends.

Like I needed more reasons to never shop nintendo again. SteamDeck fully supplanted the switch and switch 2 is DOA for me.

The steam deck has soo much more innovation potential as the software is open-source and the hardware is pretty repairable for it's form factor.

That and the entire gamerdeck form factor that arrived along with it. I use a boutique Chinese deck (OneXPlayer, but I hear others are good too), and there's numerous Western options like the Ally, the Legion Go, and the Claw.

One thing that made me choose a Chinese device of all things was that the Legion Go S didn't exist at the time. Ergonomics are important for something like these and everything else was painful to use for extended periods. Still using the OXP device as my daily driver as I don't yet see reason to upgrade.
