      tbf if you can “crack” it like you could Series S/X it could still be a worthwhile PC alternative, depending on the price

        Still need a subscription fee to play online, most likely.

    Hey let’s give this some runway, if they want it to be a success maybe they will consider ditching Windows and putting a variant of Linux on it. Imagine how much positivity the community would extend to them if they made it run mainline Bazzite, then they could throw a bunch of financial support at the Bazzite team…

    Ahh who am I kidding, they will be loading it up with special Windows Gamer OS that is stripped of all ads and telemetry until the day after launch to give the reviewers with early access time to rave about how amazing it is that Microslop cares about their fans, before treating them like the little pay piggies they see them as.

      Presuming their vibe-coded sloperating system runs at all.

        Oh I’m sure certain elements will run, for a certain value of run.
