    I feel terrible for PC gamers. They can’t enjoy a game unless it’s on full 5k, 60fps. They would have hated my childhood playing nes and N64.

    I’ve been currently playing TOTK and it’s so good, not once have I thought “OMG RESOLUTION MAKES THIS A 0/10” like the PC gamers, not once has the frame rate even been a noticeable thing, cause it’s smooth. PC gamers only care about top tier graphics, they can’t just enjoy an experience

      For me emulation is just a convenience thing.

      I like to game on the go with a steam deck (720p60), and I don’t want to carry around two handhelds

      I’ve got the choice between one with pretty much every game I’ve ever bought, a nicer controller and more features, or one that has 2 games and doesn’t even support Bluetooth headphones iirc, nor will it connect to any usb c dock that wasn’t specifically designed for it

      Resolution and performance is only one reason people want emulation

      Entirely wrong argumenrs against PC gamers. Maybe you mean hardcore Masterrace PC Gamers. There arent even a lot of them.

      Most of the PC gamers just want the freedom I assume. The convinience of being able to play new random indie games online or AAA titles without needing to spend extra 30 bucks per month for luxus <replace console> internet access. Additionally you can choose your device like Steam Deck, Rog Ally, PC, Laptop or Cloud Gaming.

      Like the Steam Deck, it only has 720p and I prefer to play on it over my WQHD monitor.

      Man if I cared about framerate or resolution I wouldn’t be playing totk on my steam deck. And yes I own a switch, and yes I bought totk

      No xd. People only care about how the game plays, it doesn’t matter if it looks like a potato (like wow or CSGO), but whatever you say 30 fps isn’t and never was “smooth”. In my case it makes me dizzy so it’s physically unusable.
