@SteamDeckHQ also, just get both

@DanielLHughes That too! And even if you don’t, and you choose one over the other, we are all just trying to enjoy gaming!

@SteamDeckHQ As long as there is SEO you're going to see these arguments, because they get clicks. Its just goofy.

@RunJumpStomp I’m more surprised how intense it can get. I’ve seen people berate Switch users for just wanting to stick to that, and vice versa for the Deck. It’s ridiculous. I think everyone should just enjoy gaming!

@SteamDeckHQ Completely different categories of device in completely different price brackets, no less. You can just about afford a 64 gig Steam Deck and a used Switch Lite for the cost of a PS5 bundle, that is how low the floor on the Switch goes. Of course they're not comparable.

@Sin_Knighteye I would much rather see some Steam Deck vs AYANEO or GPD WIN comparisons personally. Those are all mobile PCs!

@SteamDeckHQ Yeah both offer two totally different experiences, I've never needed to spend two hours to get a game to run on Switch, but I've also never been able to download games from a different storefront on it

@correcthololive Exactly. There are pros and cons to each, but at the end of the day, the Deck is a computer and this kind of tweaking is part of the gig, whereas the Switch is a console that just works, but has limited selection.

@SteamDeckHQ People love to have console wars unfortunately

@CatgirlFingies It’s very true. It just blows over into rude and berating territory and crosses an unnecessary line.

@SteamDeckHQ Sure but most games work pretty good outta the box

@THE_SE7EN_SINS I think it depends on the game! Some can run out of the box, but does that mean it should be left that way? A lot of games have default settings not accustomed to the Deck, I even found a new defaulting to 1080p!

@SteamDeckHQ Unfortunately, it's not gonna end price is only 50 more than a switch oled, and it can do what the switch does but 20x better than Nintendo and really everything else in that price range. People got a taste of AAA gaming on the go and valve created a affordable god tier system.

@BlkGodTheGamer The price…I can’t argue that. Valve priced this product fantastically. Valve and Nintendo had different priorities with these products for sure. In the end, it comes down to preference!

@SteamDeckHQ Thus console war in general needs to stop its mad annoying just enjoy gaming for what it is its in a really good place

@twogunz81 Agreed! We should all just enjoy gaming, regardless of platform.

@SteamDeckHQ And one is Nintendo backwards compatible. The other isn't.

@ReliableRandom Hah and it isn’t the one you think it SHOULD be!

@SteamDeckHQ What tweaks? I don't need to tweak anything and when using only gaming mode, it's just like console.

@tarmo888 The console-UI is handy, but there’s definitely tweaks if you’re optimizing for things like battery life or stable framerate. Hades, for instance, can be played out of the box, but actually drains more battery than it needs to. A single tweak can add an hour of battery.
