Don’t get me wrong, I dislike other gaming consoles too. Why would I buy a device that I don’t really own, i.e. the manufacturer can pull the rug from under it at any time and render it completely useless?
I get your point about ‘innovative’ designs. But then they should sell the device separately and allow the user to with it as they please (see steam deck).

Yeah, this is why I’m so fucking pissed about the lack of non-digital games. I understand that games have tons of updates, and that the idea of a physical game has been declining for years, but there was at least still a physical, 1.0 version of a Nintendo game I could buy and play on my Switch. If Nintendo no longer sells that product, they no longer have a product I want.
