Quoting: grigiWhat do you think is a good cadence for updates? 3 years? 4 years? more?
The 8 year cadence of the switch is too long as it has definitely been losing developer interest in the last two years as it's too weak to support on multiplatform releases anymore.
It's far too long, the Switch was low-powered even at release and it has missed a fair amount of games as it's just not strong enough.

For the Deck 2, my suggestion there about announcing it late 2026, would mean a release in 2027. Making it about 5 years between Deck and Deck 2 which for a PC platform seems pretty darn reasonable to me, considering the Deck struggles a lot with newer games right now.
These games are not optimized thought and most of these engines are not even multithreaded, and we have a bandwidth issue not a TFLOPS or GFLOPS one.

I don't have any EA games in my collection. Ever since the PS3 era, their games haven't been as good as they used to be. Even if they do come out with something decent, it lacks innovation.

Quoting: M@GOidI can enjoy a modern game that pays homage for ancient games from 20, 30 years ago. You feel nostalgic and stuff. Hollow Knight was released too recently for someone to be "paying homage" too it.
Those ancient games themselves were all copying each other's homework too, though - it's what grows genres. :wink:

We used to have the phrase "If you like that, you'll like this too." for a reason, before it became taboo for reasons I've never understood.

Quoting: Viesta2015so i really don't understand all the anger...
It feels to me like some indies are allowed a free pass for "Sticking it to THE MAN!", but others aren't for some reason, even though they're doing exactly what this industry has always done. :tongue:
Pengling, you never cease to amaze me. This is why I have some deep respect for you; you're a genius.

The game still has some bugs that should be fixed, and Steam Deck support would be appreciated from them.

So inspiration is a crime now, so maybe we should make our own unique food recipes, our own unique clothing style, or our own unique musical genre.
