You can spend about the same amount for a Steam Deck, and you can play Aperture Desk Job for free. Speaks volumes how Nintendo views their fans.
You can play way more than just Aperture Desk Job for free, a lot of games on Steam these days are Free, and I'm not talking about free to play. I'm not sure but I don't remember there being any full free games on the eshop, F2P yes but developers there never opted to make their games just free. Some devs on Steam absolutely have.
Beauty of actual competition, I have around 100 games I got from epic games store for free. Beauty of open systems, I can play 99% of them on my deck.
Steam still needs more competition IMO. If Steam were to disappear tomorrow, the gap left in the PC gaming market would be massive.
I agree with the first but not the second.
