You'll never be short of games to play on the Steam Deck as Valve's handheld passes an impressive number of well-optimized titles.

    Not sure what you’re getting at. Even if we go with your number, for many people, the 10 games they’ll play will be different, which is where the wide selection comes in.

      What I’m getting at is Nintendo has a higher bar for quality. Steam is just a huge tent.

        Hmm, do games on the Switch have ratings?

        Also, just because there are low quality games on Steam, doesn’t mean that there are less high quality games on it that on the Switch. I’d be very interested in numbers to back a claim that there are more high quality games on the Switch than on the Steam Deck.

        Also, how do you know Nintendo has a higher bar for quality? Could it be that there are less game developers for the Switch than for Steam?
