I'm going to buy a switch two, which they usually sell the hardware for close to cost. Then I'm gonna leave it in the box and wait until a mod chip comes out that lets me play every game for free.

Just get an emulator on PC / Steam Deck. The most likely reason Nintendo went so hard on Switch emulators last year is because they will be able to emulate Switch 2 games with little tweaking (probably just new keys / BIOS). They've confirmed it's backwards compatible with Switch games, which strongly supports this hypothesis.

I don't like the weight of the steam deck. I like the form factor of the switch. I also like doing hardware mods. It's fun to do.
