I think it’s also that the people that want the games but haven’t bought a PS4 or 4 after so many years would never buy one, so they might as well sell just the games to them.
I don’t understand why anyone would want to travel between point A and B and point B and A. Can’t they just make up their mind about where they want to be?
I just want to live at point D and spend a pleasant amount of time at point E
I hope it also comes to PC. I suspect I will come out after 6-12 months after the PS5 version, maybe even at the same time if I’m lucky. Unfortunately I’m never lucky.
Additionally, this has resulted in bait-and-switch-like situations, where users would prepurchase Steam copies of games, only to be informed that they wouldn’t be getting them.
I didn’t know about this.
It happened to Metro Exodus (great game btw) but iirc all pre orders were honoured and the game was just delisted.
My main problem with the steam deck is probably portability and battery life. I have used it very seldom on the train to work, but I imagine it would be very cumbersome.
I will try it again when I am finally done with TOTK on my switch.
And then there is always the question: Is the steam deck really an unique gaming platform when it’s really just a small laptop.
