I mean, to be fair.....

XBox shot them in the foot so many times, they're practically an amputee brand at this point.

Playstation has become stale and boring.

And Nintendo is price gouging crazy, while not offering ANYTHING of any value to play. Just watch. At some point in Switch 2's lifespan they'll try to rerelease a barely remastered version of Super Metroid. They'll charge $70. Or maybe Link to the Past remastered. $70.

Meanwhile, PC has multiple storefronts. Steam is the heavy hitter obviously. Gog has all the old releases from the 80s/90s/2000s. And Epic has......uhhhh.......free games once a week? And not much else? Do you like fortnite? They have fortnite if you're still into that for some reason.

But between Steam and GOG, you have modern and retro games covered for 40 years of gaming on an increasingly available number of devices. If Steam locked down their games to JUST steam branded devices, it'd be DOA. But because I can run a steam game on any PC that can physically handle the game, it means I can buy a handheld of any type. I might limit myself from some modern games. My Retroid Pocket Flip 2 seems to cap out around 2015. But I'm good with that. The only game I've been disappointed in missing out on has been satisfactory. That game seems fun. Maybe I'll play it in 20 years.
