@Zilock The issue isn't to do with her race, but the presentation of a person fighting to liberate enslaved black people turning into a genuinely evil person when she gets power. The idea of black liberation leading to a reversal of racism is a common idea by white supremacists and nationalists, and historically nonsense, as it does not reflect what happens following the successful liberation of an ethnic group.
The price comparison doesn't work. I'm on record saying that I'd pay $800 for a Switch 2 if the games were $60. For my Steam Deck, it doesn't take long to get games for cheap. In the end, I think that a person buying a comparable number of games with comparable MSRPs on Steam Deck will spend less than someone doing so on Switch 2.
To me, they all have value, but I reckon I go DX > LA > Switch. The GB?C versions are rather quaint, and the Switch version replacing the camera moments with a mediocre dungeon-building mini-game was a huge loss.
@Octane Yo, ninjas aren't a group of people who suffered genocide. There also is not a pattern of depicting Ninjas poorly. Perhaps they are "fetishized" (for lack of a better word), but Native Americans are frequently maligned. Fire Attack is a retelling of a period of time where Native Americans were intentionally targeted with genocide, while the game depicts them as the antagonists.
