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
@leeloo@kde@floss.social@kde@lemmy.kde.social I read your post a few more times and i think i get it. You should have worked at the Marketing Team at SEGA back in the Genesis Time. “This is the least relevant number, but it makes what i like look better”
Blast Processing could have come from you. Genesis does what Nintendont could have been your slogan.
But yeah, i just disagree with your opinion on the relevance of that number.
@vamp898@kde@floss.social@kde@lemmy.kde.social
I know of Sega. They were the ones who built Out Run, if I’m not mistaken. But I know basically nothing about their home consoles, I may have seen one in a store once upon a time, but I don’t know which one it was. I only remember it being black and red and looking like cheap plastic.
In short: I have no idea what you’re talking about.
@vamp898@kde@floss.social@kde@lemmy.kde.social
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?
@vamp898@kde@floss.social@kde@lemmy.kde.social
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.
@leeloo @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social It doesn’t need one, but why hide it when it has one anyway?
Most Games on Steam are not available on the Switch. That is a pretty good reason

That’s not what I said.
@leeloo @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social I just checked, it says @vamp898 so yes, that is not what you said. That is what i said.
But thanks for clearing that up, i don’t want my messages to be confused with your messages
@vamp898 @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social
Ha ha, you’re not very good at being funny.
Let me rephrase, those numbers are not relevant to the numbers I was talking about.
