Comment on Gaming handheld prices are out of control, except for the Steam Deck
Mynameisallen@lemmy.zip 1 day agoMudman here with the most salient point and better written then my “fuck off if you don’t want those devices you don’t have to buy them” but also the used market for those devices is way weirder, I grabbed a Z1 extreme Ally for $250, I’m also for sure ordering a Ayn Thor at 10 tonight, but I enjoy playing with weird hardware more than I do the games tbh

I choose to read that as a genuine compliment.
And yeah, man, these weird devices are being sold to weird people who like them for what they are. Which also means when the next weird thing comes out those weirdos are likely to get upsold and resell older stuff. All of these things are going to be fantastic Youtube videos from retro hardware people in the 2070s, assuming we avoid going full Mad Max Idiocracy that long.
