It's the hypocrisy.
>2017 steamies were shitting on the switch for being a handheld with a 720 screen
>steam deck releases and all those talking points universally stopped
>occulus? I need a Facebook account to use it! No way
>steam account is REQUIRED to even purchase the steam deck/index let alone use it
>locked to one store (it may be changing soon but if you purchased anything else outside of steam you're fucked)
>outdated hardware when it was released making it rapidly degrade in performance
>better shit has released like the rog ally x with external gpu support via TB 3
>valve still has it full price for old ass outdated hardware (just like the index)
>valve released an oled model copying Nintendo
>ProtonDB uses have straight up gaslight people about performance and bugs
Steamies are an insufferable bunch. Notice how every steam deck picture of it running emulators it's always within the first 30 minutes of the game? Or how steamos is literally more restricted than windows 11 (flatpaks and it's an immutable OS). Lastly notice how there's been ZERO charts comparing the steam deck to the switch 2 in terms of performance and battery life.
You know damn well if it did better there'd be shitpost for YEARS.
Its been outclassed, outperformed and with valve releasing steamos for other handhelds there's literally no reason to purchase it now unless you really love gaben's cum.
