If you’re buying this (or anything other than Nintendo exclusive games) for your switch, it’s because you don’t have any other options and likely only own a switch
If you had a PC or a PS5, you’d buy it on that.
So switch only owners would pay whatever for it, but the rest of us wouldnt
I mean, not necessarily - they might be buying it on the switch because they want a "mobile" version and don't own a steam deck.
But yeah, ultimately if you own a switch, you should know what to expect by now from anything that isn't a first party Nintendo title (and even then it can be a bit hit or miss from a performance standpoint)
I admit I haven't really touched my switch much since I got a Steam Deck.
Sounds like they should accept their inferior switch version, or invest in better hardware.
Given that the switch version looks terrible even by Switch standard, I think they're right to complain and refuse to buy it. And not everyone can just "invest in better hardware" the second an upgrade comes along. Let's not forget that up until the Steam Deck, the switch was the gold standard for handheld gaming - mainly by virtue of being the only real option
Not always true; some games work really well on handheld/portable devices and the Switch is really good for that. The Binding of Isaac springs to mind.
I own a ton of games on my switch that aren't switch exclusives. I travel a lot and use it like a Gameboy on planes, in hotels etc. Anyone using a switch entirely as a home console experience, ya silly to not buy games on PC etc instead.
