That’s because 90% of steam games are trash.
This statement manages to be sorta true while also missing that there's more great games on steam than the entire, mature Switch 1 library.
Right. "10% of a million versus 50% of a thousand" type situation. Plus, Steam's pretty good at promoting the better games, even the obscure ones.
I dont think you're wrong but Luckily Steam has a decent algorithm for making sure the best games rise to the top of your store page based on your similar games played/wishlisted.
They have that I agree. The steam deck is at least $300 more than the switch 2 where I live so to me the comparison isn’t fair.
Edit: i just went online and $110 for a dock is insane, I don’t know why steam doesn’t get called out for that. The steam deck i want is already $800+ tax
This is a crazy generalization.
Kinda the point of my comment, nobody sees the irony. I just went on steam and there are games that are $120+. All these companies have varying games and prices.i just want people to remember that Steam is a corporation and Gabe is a billionaire. Don’t let them pull the same shit musk did, stop worshipping corporations and billionaires and posting memes to start some sort of brand corporate team war
Personally I don't ever advocate for billionaires but I've been using steam for a long time and they have very consumer friendly return policies. Would I like them to take less of a cut from the devs and clamp down on micro transaction bullshit? Absolutely. Are they actively trying to fuck my like most big corps? I don't really think so.
That 10% that's good is still a larger library than you could ever reasonably expect to play, even if you don't have a job. But I also think there's a massive amount of games that could be good and just no one's played them.
