u/123

During the entire time I followed the hardware, Nintendo refused to acknowledge the issue and even only replaced them on countries that brought meaningful legal action to them. When you say newer ones do you mean Nintendo or other manufacturers? I still seem to only find hall effect ones from third parties on our poor excuse of a search engine (google).

For those of us that didn't follow VR, which controllers are drift prone.

From a non-VR perspective, the switch controller I own suck and drift. Is it that bad as well on that front?

A lot of us are tired of high end BS no one can afford and highly proprietary stuff. Hollow Knight is the best game I've played in a long, long time and it could have been played with my 10+ year old midrange computer vs the updated one which was quieter for sure but didn't feel like much of an upgrade given how unoptimized AAA games are now.

Perhaps this is a blessing in disguise and we might see some actual game engine optimizations that don't expect hardware to keep getting better to perform. Plenty of games that were previously seen as a no go are now targeting the steam deck, which makes them more playable overall in every system.

Edit: my point: more sales = more interest = better optimization = better graphics at a lower entry point.

It would be nice if its both (drop down with default to the best guess of your hardware).

No longer would you have to believe nvidia or amd, you can lookup real numbers from existing players. They will need to account for fsr and dlss so fake frames are taken into account but it could be a nice tool for planning hardware updates.

Its nice when "supporting" happens to align with better/more options in the future.
