Per Wikipedia, yes. A game console is the general term. A home console is the one that plugs into a tv, and a handheld console is something like a switch.
Yep, a long while ago.

Valve has been pretty chill about letting people make fan games based on their IP as long as they ask Papa Gaben first.
The problem is with DRM owning a physical copy of a recent game doesn’t mean squat. It also wasn’t a gap for older generations since CDs were a terrible medium to store and verify games since they scratch easy.
The fight will always be you want to own the thing you buy, and companies will want to stop people who didn’t buy it from using it. This fight has been going on since the original DOOM was freely passed around.
Valheim turned my group off when we accidentally wandered into a biome we weren’t ready for (and didn’t know) and were all one shot by those stupid mosquitos on the opposite side of the map from our camp and couldn’t get our stuff back. We had issues like that before but could always just barely recover our stuff. But those damned mosquitos? Nah.
But if Hello Games can take care of balance issues like that, I’m definitely willing to take a chance.
Ha, I remember playing that. I got in trouble and was grounded from playing computer games for a while. But one night my parents had friends over and I was bored. They felt bad and bent the rules slightly and let me play that game. Thanks for reminding me!
