Consoles continue their trend of just becoming worse PCs

Hell yeah. I quit buying console games entirely when Gamestop went out of business in my town. Before that I decided I would only invest in digital-only games on Steam.

I thought of getting a Nintendo Switch but the thought of building up an all new game library was daunting, and it's not like the good old days when it was affordable to buy used games for the Advance and DS.

The Steam Deck is great, if a bit big and pricey. I like the experience of having a nice neat box that sites next to the TV [1] and I want to see more Steam-compatible consoles. I tried an ACER handheld at Best Buy and it was kinda cringe how the first thing I saw was an ordinary Windows desktop with no effort to scale fonts for the screen size, hopefully people who "get it" will eventually have some say.

[1] ... and that it replaces an optical disk player has been a great selling point so far
