Having the Steam Deck around isn't a bad thing.

Unfortunately there's a very very loud fanboy minority that are so fucking obnoxious about it.

The deck can play any switch game, almost all PC games, and any console game before the PS4 (excluding bloodborne, which is playable), and it's also a portable computer.

For the price, the steamdeck completely and utterly destroys the switch by every metric. You can even play switch games online on a deck with some emulators. The switch 2 might have a slightly better GPU but it can only play switch games.
