They might have from me if the Steam Deck didn't exist, but their advantage in the past was always being cheaper than the competition. I'm not interested in paying ~~$400~~ $450 for a locked portable console.

I loved my switch. I spent a lot of time with it. But since getting the steam deck... All the things I can do with it, and the cheap games, and even the high end games that I can play, it's just too good. I beat hollow knight on my PC. I bought a switch after that, bought hollow knight collectors and never played it. Was fully planning on buying silk song on the switch but now I think I'll go for the steam version.

I'm hoping to get one soon. I've really enjoyed my jailbroken Switch and the prospect of a more powerful, even more open portable is enticing.
