Having being in the emulator development scene, you have no idea how much you are wrong. “120 fps with glitches” is not “first class”. ;)
I've played plenty of them on both. I'm not talking about increasing the target frame rate. I'm talking about not having frequent heavy drops like the switch does.
Not every switch game runs poorly.
Where did I say they did?
I said the steam deck runs some better.
You didn't, I'm just saying that since there are many great switch games that run just fine it's not quite a hard pro and con situation where the switch experience is always so poor that it'd make the Deck a sheer upgrade worth the money.
Just depends on how much you value that performance, I'm able to get used to 30 FPS pretty decently, so the Switch is much better for me at the price point and ease of use, but I know there's definitely a contingent of players who really value performance and your comment comes into play for them.
