    The entire gaming industry right now is just Microsoft, gambling you can’t win targetted at children, and Sony/Nintendo + developers joined at the hip.

    Like how the steamdeck inspired copycats it might breath some life into PC hardware, and reduce microsoft’s stranglehold a bit/lifeboat some people fleeing windows but it’s not like this will magically let you run sony/nintendo exclusives + your back catalogue, provide the game gamepass integration as xbox/windows, or move your friends and gamerbro expensive pixels.

    If anyone thinks that they probably don’t grok how entrenched the big 3 are, they’re part of people’s identities and have like geopolitical influence lol.
