I got a Steam Deck shortly after the Switch 2 price reveal and love it. I wish I'd gotten one years ago, but better late than never.

I don’t think I’ve ever actively been put off of wanting a new console before this.

Weren't around for this one? It put me off Xbox forever, which turned out to be the right decision.

I was in elementary school when the 360 came out, so no, I wasn’t aware at the time of the corporate smarm coming from Microsoft.

You’re right to be put off of it though, MS is…yeah.

This was the Xbox One release. In the initial announcement it was all online, all the time with fully Digital licening. As you can imagine, uproar followed. This was their reasoning for everyone who couldn't download a few TB of games and updates on the regular. They relented on almost all of their points, but the damage was done.

Hey, dude, just be older like me. How are you going to remember screwing your Atari into the antenna ports on the back of the TV if you weren't alive for that?
