Amid the furore around the $449.99 price of the Switch 2 and Mario Kart World’s $79.99 price tag, there is shock at Nintendo’s decision to charge for the console’s tutorial game, Welcome Tour.
You can spend about the same amount for a Steam Deck, and you can play Aperture Desk Job for free. Speaks volumes how Nintendo views their fans.
You can play way more than just Aperture Desk Job for free, a lot of games on Steam these days are Free, and I’m not talking about free to play. I’m not sure but I don’t remember there being any full free games on the eshop, F2P yes but developers there never opted to make their games just free. Some devs on Steam absolutely have.

Absolutely. I was just pointing out that the tutorial game is free, in contrast to Nintendo.
The competition of piracy keeps PC game prices more reasonable. I know Nintendo games get pirated as well, but not nearly on the level of PC games.
Beauty of actual competition, I have around 100 games I got from epic games store for free. Beauty of open systems, I can play 99% of them on my deck.
Steam still needs more competition IMO. If Steam were to disappear tomorrow, the gap left in the PC gaming market would be massive.
I agree with the first but not the second.
But now you also have malware
…why?
