ever heard of derangement? ok now combine said derangement with a toddler's mindset that makes them decide everything they like and dislike based on whether or not their favorite or least favorite cartoon does it

>hey timmy what are you obsessed with today?
>GRRRR I HATE TOMATOES
>y'know who else hates tomatoes? MARIO!
>EEEEEEK WHAT? B-BUT MARIO STINKS, SONIC IS THE BEST! N-NO IF MARIO HATES TOMATOES I- I- I'LL EAT THEM, OK? I'LL EAT THEM I PROMISE!
literal toddler thinking, kill yourself

>2017 steamies were shitting on the switch for being a handheld with a 720 screen
We made fun of it for being a glorified android tablet.
>steam account is REQUIRED to even purchase the steam deck/index let alone use it
And it gatekeeps scalpers. Also you don't need a Steam account to use the Deck, but why would you not get a laptop at that point?
>locked to one store (it may be changing soon but if you purchased anything else outside of steam you're fucked)
Blatant fucking lie. You can easily play games from GoG/itch.io/DLsite/torrents with no issues.
>outdated hardware when it was released making it rapidly degrade in performance
On launch (2022) it was able to play most AAA at 30fps minimum. No one at Valve expected for optimisation to get dramatically worse.
>better shit has released like the rog ally x with external gpu support via TB 3
And those handhelds will have Steam installed on them.
>valve still has it full price for old ass outdated hardware (just like the index)
Why slash prices when it sells out most of the time?
>valve released an oled model copying
NINTENDO INVENTED OLED
>ProtonDB uses have straight up gaslight people about performance and bugs
Only real valid criticism at launch. Proton's massively improved since then to the point of mogging Windows at older games.
