I’m less opposed to AI assisted development if it just a fan or two building free, open source ports that makes older stuff more playable. Now if it’s a full-priced corporate remaster, then I start to take issue with AI reliance.

Deck was my Trojan Horse. I actually bought it as a remote play accessory for my PS5 that could also let me emulate retro content and enjoy some older PC games that never came to PS.

Instead, my Steam library ballooned and I ended up repurchasing games I already owned on PS just because they were dirt cheap and ran fine natively on the handheld.

Last month, I came across an opportunity to buy a Steam Machine and discovered that there was enough of an additional mark up in my region that I could spend the same amount of money and build what is essentially a supercharged PS5 Pro. So I took that route and now I’m just waiting on the CPU, and whether or not Amazon upholds a miracle bargain on some RAM I found on their store. (I expect the seller to cancel when the time comes to ship it.)

My PS5 will henceforth be relegated to exclusives only and PSVR2 labor.

The bubble must be showing signs of weakening.

This might be good on Steam Deck for multiple games that have carry-over data. Just mirror the save data folder of one proton directory into that of the follow-up game’s directory. I assume you can go back to the first game to unlock more stuff to carry over, and not have to manually copy-paste the save folder each time. Just run a sync.
