Shame, guess I'll never buy anything from them ever again. Bricking the device I own is fucked, it's none of your business what I do or don't do with it.
The Steam Deck is superior in every regard anyways.
Almost... I wish it had access to DLSS, FSR looks so horrendous, especially before actual hardware acceleration like we have on RDNA 2.
Idk what you're smoking, FSR 3 is great, FSR 2.1 is just fine, and were up to 4 now
FSR4 is really, really good. In one important way, it’s actually better than DLSS: it doesn’t have those really distracting disocclusion trails that DLSS has.
The catch is thst your game needs to have FSR4, which is still very new, because like you pointed out, earlier versions were not good.
It will come. It's still in it's infancy.
How’s this different from any of the big 3?
If you mean Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo, IMO, Nintendo is the worst of them when it comes to stuff like this. You don't see Microsoft crushing little enthusiast developers and modders (in fact, the Skyblivion team was sent free copies of the Oblivion remaster and has received lots of support and encouragement, as have many other modders).
If someone did that with Pokemon or Zelda at it got as much coverage as Skyblivion, Nintendo would squash them under a bunch of lawyers. That said, IMO, all consoles kind of suck, and PC is a lot fairer to consumers. Steam Deck is like, "You want to run an emulator? A whole new OS? Anything you say King. I love you."
The Steam Deck? It's very different. It comes with an unlocked bootloader, so you can install any operating system you want. Even though it's a "Steam" Deck, you can buy and play games from any store you want, even on the stock Valve operating system.
It's also somewhat easy to repair, includes official repair guides and replacement parts programs.
fucking staggering ignorance here, rewarded as usual
