This is what game launchers looked like in my day.

If I wanted a different game I’d put in a different tape!

It’s probably the inbuilt browser component that seems to be in everything these days.

Chrome pulled support for Win 7 and 8 ages ago, so anything that relies on an up to date browser is sure to follow.

Gee, I wonder why it’s all AI generated horseshit from press releases these days.

The writing was on the wall when Jeff Gerstmann was fired over a bad review back in 2007. The whole game journalism industry has been on life support since then, and realistically been shafted ever since we went from purchased magazines to online.

Even then magazines would find themselves without timely review copies if they were not sympathetic to the need for good reviews.

Meanwhile Final Fantasy XIV is doing a collaboration with hair dye.

I use an Nvidia shield pro.

Certainly handles Jellyfin and Moonlight (for gaming, I could never get Steam Link working smoothly).

I assume there’s a YouTube client you can drop on it but I don’t use YouTube for much because I can’t stand YouTubers.
