As a Steam Deck owner, there’s something I never fully understood and something I realized only after many years.

Among non-Nintendo consumers, there’s this widespread belief that Nintendo never discounts its games. But honestly, it feels more like a myth.

After looking around at local stores and online retailers, Nintendo games actually do go on sale quite often. Maybe not as trackable and aggressively as Steam sales, but discounts absolutely exist.

I’m genuinely happy I bought the Steam Deck and I’m very satisfied with it. But part of me realizes that, at the time, I justified the purchase because I believed third-party games and Nintendo exclusives would always stay full price on Switch with rare discounts.

Now I’m wondering where this dissonance comes from.

Why is the perception around Nintendo pricing so different from reality for many gamers outside the Nintendo ecosystem?

The brutal truth about social pressure, self doubt, and why most people stay stuck forever.

Hi guys, I would like to enhance my visibility through articles, so my question is: Do you know any good SEO books or even books about better writing? Right now I’m considering 3 Months to No.1: The “No-Nonsense” SEO Playbook for Getting Your Website Found on Google by Will Coombe, but I was wondering if you know any better recommendations.
