Every platform wants to be every other platform nowadays

Mighty Gunvolt Burst is a great Mega Man-style platformer

Unsurprising

Vendor lock-in is a big one. Losing access to your purchased games/apps and having a harder time bringing over your music and video libraries could turn people off, even if F2P games and streaming have made these less relevant. There’s also the matter of switching cloud storage providers

True, but they shouldn’t be the only option. A big part of why they sell the way they do is brand recognition.

Why do Android manufacturers keep turning their phones into iPhones? If I wanted an iPhone, I’d buy one.

Burgertime

So productive!

That really is what port starvation comes down to, really. Docking stations, singles, adaptors… Just selling a great device doesn’t make all the money companies want

As long as you don’t misplace it. You might have to take it out if using a PS5 that does have a front-facing USB port

Even if they would, look what at happened to Bleem. They successfully argued in court that the PS1 emulator they were selling was legal, but Sony kept suing them until Bleem went bankrupt paying legal fees. That was an actual corporation, too. What hope does an individual artist have?

Or, more accurately, they aren’t prepared for the legal battle that would ensue

Going from 1 USB port and 1 USB-C port in the front to 2 USB-C ports in the front is really annoying for users of existing wired controllers such as arcade sticks

It’s warm. Thus, it’s for cat

Yeah, most cats tend to not appreciate things being put on top of them from my understanding

For those who take this seriously: don’t. Security by obscurity does not work.

They’ve been sucking for longer than they’ve been losing

The abyss demands offerings. Scritches will do.

The whole $300 for a single game thing is misleading when if you want to play a second N64 game, all you’ll have to buy is the second game you want. If anything, it comes out to being cheaper than buying a single game for a modern console if you apply the same standard

Because it’s not the AI that’s taking away jobs, but the executives hoping to cut costs regardless of creativity, quality, or ethics.
