We’ve come to a point where PC gaming is so mainstream that the average PC gamer likely doesn’t even know that AMD makes GPUs. They’ll just complain about the prices and then pay for Nvidia directly or indirectly via prebuilts.

The original article referenced was misleading and only referenced browser games. The actual percentage should have increased if you look at Steam stats and use that as a baseline.

It’s a very different game though. They’re very different and attract different crowds.

That’s just for this issue right now in particular but they’ve had instances where supposedly an overzealous employee was going around banning anime-like games a few years back with no explanation.

The other big change that’s coming for a lot of people I know: end of Windows 10 support. Honestly, the majority of people I know who still have a traditional Windows PC are using machines that can’t be upgraded to Windows 11.

The average person just simply won’t upgrade. These are the people who find regular updates or shutting of their PC already a pain, what makes you think they would switch to a completely different OS?

Also their refusal to admit to blatent usage of AI generated art for their assets.

Who was expecting this to be console pricing? This is essentially a full laptop in a tiny form factor, of course it’s gonna cost more like a laptop or you know, all of the other handheld PCs out there.
