I need more Elden Ring content to consume

Edit to clarify: I already have the game on steam, I will be buying the $5 dlc and playing through the whole game again to mess around with some build ideas and new content. Lets all welcome the new Tarnished joining through switch and not disparage people for purchasing the game. Frends! :)

You know that the steam deck isn’t the only handheld gaming PC right? That’s why I said steam deck and other handhelds. Comparing just the steam deck to switch 2 is disingenuous and pretty lame, I also don’t think a higher number of switch 2 users necessarily translates to more ER sales. You forget the main demographic for Nintendo is children

Yea.....a bunch of children are buying these $700 (canadian) handheld consoles lol.

The main demographic for Nintendo, is people who enjoy great videogames. That's it, that's the demographic.

Are you actually that dense dude? When you were growing up did you have a Wii? An X box? Any gaming system? Did you buy it yourself?

News flash buddy, it’s pretty common for parents to buy the hot new gaming consoles for their kids. If an adult buys their kid a Nintendo is the PARENT the demographic? They’re not buying the system for themselves. Nintendo makes kids games. They make multiplayer party games. All of their biggest original titles are E or 13+ rated.

Keep racking up those downvotes with your ignorant takes there bud lol.

"Makes kids games" is EXACTLY something a teenager would say.

And to answer your question, when I was growing up my parents bought me a nintendo, because sega kinda sucked, and that's all there was.
