People buy a Nintendo console to play Nintendo games. As good as the steam deck is (and I really do want one, but GabeN has decided that Switzerland does not exist), you ain't going to be playing Splatoon on it.

Not everything has to be a contest. Let people like things that they like.

Maybe not Splatoon specifically, but switch-exclusive single-player games run comparably or better on switch emulators running on the deck

Right. Nintendo would've gone the way of Sega but they're so good at developing software they get people to buy their hardware.

you don't get it, this is Gabens quest to save all the whales. it's like a reverse Moby dick.

Uuuh... You could. Single player for the most part, but Splatoon can be played on the Deck.
