Fair enough but come on, you can’t be having this much trouble following me. Do I really need to be so prescriptive? Do I need to outline every single little possible detail here? You really can’t infer at all what I’m saying? Did you seriously think I was saying “people can’t play two different systems at the same time“? I said “many people don’t have time.” I’m literally italicized the word time. I don’t know how much more clear I could’ve been
It feels like you’re being needlessly difficult, taking the most ridiculous interpretation of my statements and running with them then making unrelated points. It’s so typical of a bad faith online discussion. You seem to have an ax to grind about something here and keep steering towards it, I’m just saying telling somebody “don’t choose between two expensive objects, buy both!“ is out of touch and solves nothing. If they wanted/could afford both they would.
And no gaming on steam deck is much cheaper. The prices compared to switch are way, way lower. Go look at the last 10 major AAA vs. the last 10 major Nintendo IP releases and tell me what the shopping carts look like. It doesn’t even compare. Nintendo is an expensive ecosystem to get in to. you can’t even play online unless you pay another monthly/annual fee.
