Nintendo Direct left me with mixed feelings. The games look fantastic, but I can't shake the sense that a wealthy corporation is determined to squeeze every last penny out of me.

In that regard, while Steam Deck is also a business, it feels like it takes a more consumer-friendly approach. That’s why I’d rather wait for more details on Steam Deck 2 before making a decision.

Honestly, if I lived in Japan, the choice would be a no-brainer — Nintendo is deeply ingrained in the Japanese market.
