Steam Deck game library now 29% larger than that of Nintendo Switch
Steam Deck game library now 29% larger than that of Nintendo Switch
Valve's popular handheld gaming PC recently passed 14,200 officially rated games, meaning there's never been a better time to own one.
This is just talking about games approved through Valve's verification process. There are a lot of games that work that are "unverified", not to mention the entire history of gaming available through emulation.

It has some value as a comparison, some people might be worried about buying a deck because they've heard that some games don't work on it because of linux. But no one would think the Switch is lacking in games.

You say that, but I can keep my deck in docked/gaming mode, and my son who's only 7 has been playing away it like its a switch.
I think people just like to make excuses for their spending habits, which isn't wrong at all. It just becomes disheartening when you say such blatantly wrong things.

Generally speaking you're either playing docked, or sitting down. Not typically both, but I know what you mean. Even then though, any of the games he plays just automatically readjust the resolution to handheld mode and works just fine. Then when you plug it back in, it knows to stop using the steam as monitor 1 and switches the output to the TV.
Not sure how you're doing it, but its worked fine for me.
I dont see why not. Especially with the switch 2 coming out eventually, I think the value proposition of the deck goes up for consumers who might want to make a choice
Well I think neither of the numbers mean much since in my opinion a majority of those games on both systems are just slop. So the numbers of available games is irrelevant to anything to me. It would be like stating or bragging about how many words can be made from the alphabet.
