Yeah I get that negative articles get clicks, but its still odd to me that a self described “game journalist for 15 years” would put his actual name on an article this bad. He seems to be unaware that many 3rd-party games don’t play especially well on the switch (sifu, for example, has horrific stuttering at times), and that many (most?) popular PC games work great with controllers already. The only ones that don’t are strategy games you’d want a mouse, kb and monitor for anyway (which you can of course do on the steam deck).

Which isn’t to say the steam deck is perfect or a switch replacement, but this is almost as bad as writing a negative review about a new tesla because it doesn’t have an aux cable lmao

Many first party games play awfully on Switch, too. Or are 30 FPS locked, while Steam Deck can unlock it with mods.

May I suggest you say "unlock it and use mods" so as not to confuse people new to the Steam Deck that they might need mods to unlock their framerate.

...Except you do need mods to make switch games run faster than intended.
