    I’m just saying, PC gamers only care about graphics. Switch costs like $300 a gaming PC costs like $3k, why would Nintendo give up it’s exclusivity to please your tiny niche market, a market of unpleasable gamers as PC gamers are known to be.

      Forgive me if I say that might sound like a biased take.

      Personally, leaving aside the legal argument of piracy, I would be fine with paying Nintendo the money but playing on my steam deck and having stuff like steam input and having my save games for future PCs. I haven’t played TotK yet but the 90+ hours I put in BotW is locked to the switch which I sold after getting a steam deck. I don’t care for high end PC performance.

      You dont need a 3k gaming pc to get started. PC has lots of options, thats part of the appeal.

      Steam alone has as many monthly active users as the switch has lifetime sales. Its not a tiny niche market.

      Its also not unpleasable. There are certain technical standards, sure. But that is true for all consoles as well.
