Nah all that gamer malice will be dropped at the tip of a hat with a Switch 2 announcement sadly. Pocketpair will be bled of money into bankruptcy and Nintendo will win.

It is morally right to pirate Nintendo games.

Sony is a shareholder and Microsoft has also supportted PocketPair, it will be interesting to see how that works out with Nintendo.

The steam deck didn't exist when the switch came out, it innovated and filled a niche that turned out to be a severely underserved segment of the gaming market.

Nintendo struck gold with the switch, and a 'switch 2' likely isn't going to cut it.

It's not like Nintendo is infallible, remember the console before the switch was the Wii u.
