I'd rather have companies putting out emulator-friendly devices than re-charging for the same game every time a new hardware generation rolls around. The steam deck is just a computer at the end of the day, people are going to run emulators on it.
- johnnyanmac 3y agosure, but most other console makers actually sell at a loss and rely on selling and re-selling software to make profit. And users who buy consoles don't want to mess around with emulators anyway. Valve didn't sell hardware for half its lifetime, and the hardware it sold were on small margins. Steam Deck is a success selling a few million, the vita was a bomb selling 10m (very conservative estimate. you'll see 15m when googling). Economies of scale

- johnnyanmac 3y agoI don't believe so. I was just explaining that a console needs to justify every generational bump. And if remasters are valuable enough, they'll do it.
- asddubs 3y agoOh, I see what you mean now. I had trouble figuring out the relevance to my comment before.
