        And my monthly power bill has tripled to subsidize them. I’m paying for several new PCs for someone whether I like it or not.

      I wonder if developers will finally start taking middle end GPUs and the existing handhelds seriously.

      There are “Deck optimized” games that run horrendously. But what if people can’t afford new hardware for the next four years? It’s either fix the performance or lose sales. The Switch 2 is likely going to become the most common performance target, and having only 12GBs of shared memory, it actually helps PCs in this situation.

        One could hope, but the cost will carry through to consoles as well :(
