> Like, I wouldn't call people who want to play modern games on a handheld elitist? Not elitist, but somewhat unreasonable. One of the big difference between PC gaming business and console gaming is that the PC crowd (which i am a part of) has have an unreasonable fixation on performance and hardware specs instead of focusing on the experience, and that is bleeding on the reception of those windows handheld. Back in the day of the PSP, gameboy etc... It was rarely the case that someone would buy a handheld and expect to have "qualitatively" the same experience as s living console. We all understand that you get the same enjoyment, just in a delivered at a difference price/graphic/performance point. As people mentioned, there is so much amazing experience to be have at reasonable battery life around the 1.5 TFLOPS that the same deck can provide... From emulator, to old games, to nice 2D/indie games on steam or for very well optimized game (like diablo 4 or doom). Buying a PC handled and wanting the same experience as a desktop for me is just missing the point of an handheld PC (as opposed to a gaming PC for example). But to be honest, i can't really blame people for wanting that because the marketing is strongly implying that's what you get when you buy those. I have a steam deck (and will probably get the Ally), i play very different type of game on my deck vs my pc.
