it can also run games from consoles, almost all of them too if you compare numbers of playable / not playable

If you're poor, buy a used PC. If you look hard enough, really old PC's are basically free. Anything made in the past 15 years is fine, but grabbing anything with a Ryzen cpu (even an old Ryzen 5 1600) is better. As for GPU's, just buy any sub-$100 GPU made in the past 10 years. There you go, poverty gaming. You can play all but the most crappily optimized Unreal5-slop.

I mean yeah, technically "you can play" in the sense that you can run those non UE5 games at 24fps on 1080p upscaled from god knows what
Even my 6600xt struggles with some shit
>>
>>739742758
your 6600xt plays 99% of games out there just fine. I hate how people are disingenuous about "needing" an RTX 4090 and 32GB DDR5 when it's only a handful of games that need that (for 4k resolution, raytracing enabled, ultra settings)

I'm not excusing the fact that new PC hardware is becoming unaffordably expensive, this is terrible for days to come, but you have agency for the time being. Video games have been stagnant enough that a PC from 2018 is still a powerhouse today.
>>
>>739742683
You can play metroid 4 in switch 1, even steam deck
>More to be announced
Also coming to pc
>>
>>739742969
Lack of optimization is not stagnant. Games may have been touching a ceiling visually speaking for years but their requirements don't just magically lower for that reason.
The deck is precisely a good machine that will highlight precisely that for anything that's not indie (by indie I mean not basically AA but trying to paint itself as indie). Some games even 2 years ago started baking in stuff like raytracing to the point where the visuals were just absolute fucking garbage without it because there's practically no consideration, and scaling methods have made it to where a game can visually look the exact fucking same as something released 10 years ago but run much worse because "well you can just turn on FSR/DLSS and framegen, why would we even bother".

Because you might like that console's games, the convenience, the form factor, and things like online play or playing witg friends family etc. If you aren't intereated in Nintendo's specific offerings then a Steam Deck or something else like a Wonder Swan may be of interest
>>
>>739743461
steam is a small chunk of games available on PC and playable on the deck (if you don't count emulation which is another whole bunch of them including all of those 31k games on the switch that is)
0.017% is an overblown figure but consider every fucking day there's about 400 to 500 games uploaded to itch.io every single day.

Because Valve fucking up doesn't make modern Nintendo not complete trash. The S2 is still a locked down DRM box that treats you like garbage, modern Nintendo is still cancer that tried to patent basic game mechanics and sue competition, and their developers only seem to be capable of making series I used to enjoy into soulless cashgrabs for women and 4-year-olds.

Yes, but with only the standard rules, since Valve tried to con the government and pretend 'we don't actually do any business in Australia' for years, the high court hit back at them pretty hard.

A tale as old as /v/
>>
>>739744750
Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft all comply with Australia's laws.
Valve tried to get around it and then argued that they don't actually do business in Australia so aren't under Australian jurisdiction.
The high court thought poorly of that and in 2016 found them guilty of violating Australian Consumer Law, as part of their punitive measures, they have a higher standard for refunds than is normally stipulated in ACL.

If they'd just played by the law in the start, or even just started complying after the initial infractions and played dumb, they'd pretty much not have to provide full refunds unless a game was actually broken (change of mind is normally allowed to be store credit AND have a restocking fee... - Valve specifically aren't allowed to do either)
