I'm out of the gaming platform loop but assume the timing of this post is related to the Switch 2 announcement?

Others have suggested the Switch 2 is one of the best endorsements for buying a Steam Deck.

(Not really a gamer, despite having written games, ha ha, but I picked up a Steam Deck a couple years ago to test a game I ported to it — and was duly impressed.)

It's sticker price shock for sure. Historically speaking, this will just smooth over and people will set their sticks in the sand. If the 900 dollar PS5 pro can shrug it off, then I doubt there's much issue here.
