To appeal to the console demographics rather than being associated with the "nerds who will hacksaw a PC into something that looks vaguely like a console" minority.
I would think that there are more games on steam that also can be played on the Switch than there are Nintendo games that can be played on the Steam Deck, so that argument seems backwards.
@leeloo @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social There are currently ~3500 Games on the Nintendo eShop and around ~45'000 Games on Steam. 18,818 of them are verified to be playable on the Steam Deck and/or Linux

Also, if you want to argue number of games, you should only count those that don't already run on my pc, because those are the ones I'll be playing there.
@leeloo @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social If you want to play the games on your PC, play them on your PC. Why did you comment on an post about an portable console when you're not interested in one. What is your point? What are you trying to archive?

I've been considering a Switch since the Switch 1 came out, and recently the Steam Deck started to look like an interesting alternative - and I don't like only having a single option. So when I hear something that doesn't fit what I thought the Steam Deck is, I ask questions.
Nintendo leads on games that I don't currently have available and experience building consoles, while Valve leads on familiarity and trustworthiness. But you wanted to argue number of games.
