Less games? No, pretty much every popular third party game is on it.
Epic probably has more games in their store than Nintendo. Steam has significantly more games than epic. There's no comparison. You miss out on a handful of Nintendo exclusives, or literally thousands of PC exclusives.
Ah, epic, the storefront that barely works on Linux. And steam, which on Linux ships with proton that may or may not work, why? Dunno 🤷♂️
I’d rather have something that works out of the box.
You clearly haven't used proton recently. With the exception of malware level anticheat the only issue I've had is forza horizon 6 was pretty shit at launch. (Not available on switch by the way)
Pretty much everything just works now. At most I might need to switch between proton versions. All of the MS games on pc, not on switch. All of the PS games on pc, not on switch. And that's just in the AAA space. Indie games galore not available on switch.
Switch is fine, but it doesn't come close to what you'd get from a steam machine, or any desktop pc.
I used it yesterday, I had to jump through hoops just to launch a game. If it “just works now” I shouldn’t have to switch proton versions.
