    Anyone can release a cartridge though? This part you’re ignoring.

    Why move the goalposts? You’re also now suggesting we gatekeep devs? Why is releasing something on pc fine, but wouldn’t be fine if it was “homebrew”? Because it doesn’t fit your bias?

    A game release is a game release, or do these limitations only apply to one side unevenly?

    Pc is FULL of shovelware, so that shouldn’t be the metric we use? Yeah?

    You said PC gaming is flawed because you can’t play modern games on a Windows 95 PC. Which is insane.

    I never claimed that. I said it was a limitation. Which it is. It limits its capability. Limitations are flaws, but that doesn’t make it flawed, it still works. Funny how words can have multiple definitions and you can choose which one to fit your narrative. Having to get a specific system to play the games you want, is cumbersome, it isn’t always easy, or even doable in some situations now.

    Quite putting words in peoples mouth, and again with the insulting when someone has a dissenting opinion. You don’t agree with me, that doesn’t mean I’m a sock puppet. Just shows you don’t want to have a civil discourse and go to fallacies.

    So yes it’s MORE exclusive in some situations.

    In almost all situations.

    … you agree the Pc is more limited in almost all situations now? That’s not my claim. I said some.

    Right, but it’s not freedom, when it doesn’t run on everything. You need to keep your system updated to play modern games.

    With a switch, any game released, you know will play.

    So yes it’s MORE exclusive in some situations.

    Nobody is claiming that you should run Black Myth Wukong on an old IBM Aptiva except you.

    Where? Don’t put words in peoples mouth if you want to have a civil discourse, but of course with this being your post, we know your bias already.

    The thing you are arguing for, literally has a list of games it CANT run… and it includes a lot of modern games as well as older, so it can’t even run them… nice non-exclusion eh? It limits on BOTH sides.

    able to run anywhere on hardware of your choice i

    So if this statement is true, an OS wouldn’t be a limitation.

    Of course tech is better, that’s why you can’t play on it anymore with anything modern. Do you seriously need this pointed out?

    And lots of old windows 95 programs don’t run on modern hardware, so if you bought something back then, you’re SOL with modern hardware. Limitations everywhere.

    Having to buy from a certain store and being able to run anywhere on hardware of your choice is hardly more exclusive than being forced to buy from one vendor and only run on one system.

    But you can’t…? It’s locked to OS, and it doesn’t run on ALL hardware. There’s minimum specs, and you can’t play modern games on windows 95.

    Why do people ignore the glaring flaws while preaching the few okay ones? And the obvious lies too. The pros that people use, all fall flat when you follow them. You say all hardware, but it’s not, and never has been has it…?

    If you were to go up in the air and you didn’t educate yourself on what the lights mean, you’re going to ruin everyone else’s day in your incredibly dangerous ignorance.

    You don’t take a paddle boat onto the water without understanding some basic principles of water navigation… why would roads in this specific cause be any different? We already do with most land methods, this one is gonna be hinge? Nah. Ignorance isn’t an excuse.
