Is your Switch dock shit hanging out of your Switch on the go?

What you posted is not real physical support otherwise my Master System counts as a physical game by itself. I have real physical games on the go. I will never support a digital only dedicated gaming system. They're useless. No use even trying to convince me no matter what awful attitude you like pulling for your precious brick.

What are you talking about?

I gave a solution for "docking" the PC handheld AT HOME for those people who want to connect the Steam Deck with their TV or monitor AT HOME. 

Then you answered: "Because I want a bunch of shit hanging out of it on the go. Like an Apple product"

Of course you don't carry that "bunch of shit" around on the go. You don't need that on the go, every necessary input controls (two sticks, front buttons, shoulder buttons, analogue shoulder triggers, back buttons, touchscreen, touchpads) and output devices (display, speakers, headphone jack, bluetooth for wireless audio and wireless video) are already integrated.

You don't need any periphals on the go, they are all optional.

Therefore my comparison with the Steam dock: normal pepole also don't carry the Switch dock with them around, when they are playing their Switch on the go., those periphals stay at home. The Switch and Switch lite also have all necessary input controls and output devices already integrated (although analogue shoulder triggers would be nice).

And your personal problem with digital games is something totally different. Digital only dedicated gaming systems aren't useless, they are just not for YOU. Many people prefer to carry a collection of digital games around instead of physical modules of their games:

  • they can't be damaged
  • they can't be stolen
  • they can't be lost
  • you don't have to change modules if you want to play a different game
  • you can carry hundreds of them around without additional space and weight
  • if a microSD-card gets stolen/lost (often together with the devide), you just use a new microSD-card and redownload them.

I'm not trying to convince you to buy or like a Steam deck or digital games. Just stop with your FUD and don't project your own personal preferences to all other gamers!
