Speaking of bigger numbers: Are there even any rivals larger than Steam Deck? The damn thing is wider than my laptop.
I think the point of the original Deck and the recent update are that they have too crappy of a screen to play non-demanding games, too weak hardware to play demanding games and too heavy of a body if what you do is just streaming from a PC.
developers who make a $60 game (that’s actually worth $60)
This oversimplification ruins all the reasoning. There is no clear single “worth” of the game for a global market. 32527 people are willing to pay $60 for it (loyal fanbase + rich), 23886 more if it’s $50, 42110 more if it’s $40, 12280 if it’s $30 etc. would be a better model.
For me, liliputing.com gives me the most value per time spent reading. It’s also fun to see how notebookcheck occasionally reports the same stuff but worse, clearly after they’ve read it on liliputing. It’s not a broad one though since it’s focus is loosely centered at compact gadgets.
Blockchain is legit useful for government-bypassing banking. Complete fucking bullshit use-cases for hallucinating intellectual property infringement machines are, like, each and every of their use cases.
