Nintendo doesn't want you to play their games if you're not willing to follow their rules. Ok, that's their prerogative, but that means I will not be playing their games...at least not their new ones.

I prefer playing on my Steam Deck these days, and I really don't want to buy another handheld just to play Nintendo first party titles. I'm going to play some of my favorite classic Nintendo titles on my Deck using emulators and just not play the new stuff. I'm sure they're great games, but so what? There are lots of great games. I've got a huge backlog of great games already in my Steam library, and 20 more on my wishlist. If Nintendo some day decides to make their titles available for Steam Deck or PC, I'd consider buying them, but since that's extremely unlikely to happen, I think I'm just done with Nintendo.

As I've said many times: I don't hate Windows, I hate Microsoft. If Windows were owned by a not-for-profit, or a consortium or some other democratically run organization of interested groups, I don't think I would have any need for Linux. But, as it is, Linux is absolutely necessary. I hope some day that Windows is replaced by a Linux distribution that is owned and maintained by an organization that gives all stakeholders, including and especially end users, a tangible voice in its management.
