    That wasn’t the argument, though. Im not saying the switch is better, I’m saying the argument that it’s wildly more expensive than the steam deck is patently ridiculous.

      It kind of is, though. The cost of the system on its own is not the cost of the platform. Buyung the same games on a switch+paying for online mp is substantially more expensive than having a steam deck and using steam.

        You can also resell (physical) switch games, which you can’t do with steam games.

        But that’s honestly beside the point. Your argument started as a comparison of the prices of the two consoles. Trying to justify a bad argument by changing it after the fact doesn’t make it suddenly a good one.

          Yeah and you might end up getting your console banned by nintendo if the seller of the used cartridge ripped it.

          You assumed what my argument was. You wrre mistaken.
