It’s barely “decent” because it’s not even as powerful as a base PS5 which came out 5 years ago. Consoles are the baseline for any AA or AAA game and it will become outdated very quickly for a PC you can’t even upgrade.

All consoles become outdated and can’t have their hardware upgraded, so it’s just another game console. Maybe they’re pulling from Nintendo’s playbook and intentionally shipping weaker hardware as part of their strategy. Plus, if developers target optimizing for the GabeCube’s specs, it would increase benefits for players across weak and strong PC hardware.
