Why would Nintendo do anything as customer friendly as back compatibility? It’s just not who they are.

It’s a shame that it’s been delayed on PC for a year.

They’re trying to weasel out of paying refunds, as if it makes any difference who told them to do what. They have to issue refunds for merchandise not delivered and then sue Sony for damages.

The 2020s hot new business practice is self immolation through hypercapitalist greed and assuming that just because you’re the most popular in an industry you’re the only choice.

I guess the vulture capitalism has turned inward.

The cheapest entry price with the most expensive ongoing cost?

Obviously it’s because people are stupid.

The base already exists, wine is leveraging qemu for the cpu arch emulation and already has the windows translation layer.

I don’t expect them to actually do it, but it would be on the same scale of a project as the proton project that’s worked so well for the with the deck.

Maybe epic will do it to get a real deck competitor online, not that I trust those jackals to do it right.

Steam could step in with a proton layer if they wanted to. Android is technically linux already and the newest snapdragon stuff is comparable to the steam deck in raw power.

We’re ripe for some multiplatform shenanigans.

Wait until the new iPhone kills the mobile gaming market. It’s probably going to be more powerful than the switch 2. Slap on a backbone controller or a dock and you don’t need a game console at all.

The current gen android stuff is also pretty capable but nobody makes games that aren’t gacha trash for android.

Pushing the leading edge of phone design opens new use cases, it’s not always just about “doing the same shit, slightly faster”

They did. It took something like 10 hours for modders to patch in dlss during early access.

I can’t wait to have steam charge me $1 every time I re-download a unity5 game. MS should follow suit and force you to pay $1 a pop for each directx install. Which would actually be more like $80 because it loads every patch and version in order on every install.

Fee per download for a game framework that packaged into the download that they have no part of distributing? I hope this is the most recent example of a successful tech company commiting suicide, it really is the best theme this year.

Yeah, the thing is what, 36x9? They’re banana phones or something now.

I think thats rated NC17 or something for nudity. I’m not worried about that for kids but many are.

“Why don’t we sell more phones?”

Puts out a phone at 200% the cost per specs, ignores the biggest high end market and blows their marketing money 18 months early on every single release.

The couldn’t do this worse if they tried.

That’s not what dlc is nor is it required on any other platform. Backward compatibility then a graphic re release, not just “here, same shit, new platform” like fucking 'tendo

And they’ll force you to buy the base game again.

It’s also dumb to expect they’ll be paying retail for microsd or whatever usb flash sticks they decive to use.

Nobody said it was. It’s a medium to get games from a brick and mortar store to install onto the nvme on the console you can’t play modern games directly from Bluray either.

I agree, hall effect joycons SoC to something that’s less than two years old and maybe a little thicker for enough battery to match runtime and a tiny quiet fan.

30 second search at 100gb (modern AAA games and the biggest Bluray)

Bluray is $10 a disc, microsd is $8 and you get 128gb and can get bigger media, which doesn’t exist for Bluray.

That doesn’t account for mass production, fewer people care about physical media with every passing year.

Physical media will still exist, but it won’t be optical. Opticals advantages over cart just don’t exist anymore. You don’t include a $80+ part on the bom when less than 5% of your users want it and that 5% can get a bog standard usb device that can be had for $10
