@npub1yjz0...e9fc Nintendo Switch was a success, and rather low end hardware-wise. Didn't make any optimization differences in the industry anyway, hell even Switch ports were mostly halfassed and running at 20 FPS or had butchered graphics. Steam Machine is actually pretty good spec-wise, and only won't run the most astroturfed slop games. People can't really comprehend how good some iGPUs are these days, and that there was barely any *actual* technical progress over last 5 years in terms game graphics & mechanics.
I think it was someone from ubisoft, and the line was like: "as long as we are getting paid, we can live with negative press, if we are getting paid the signal is positive, despite whatever people write on twitter". Voting with your wallet is all that matters for corpos, since they live off that, and you can just starve them into compliance or demise. We didn't see improvement because people are still willing to pay for what they are doing - this is the actual problem and solution.
tl;dr - stop paying for bad products and services ffs :arisstare:
